Moving to north OF London, please be kind to help.?

Question

I got a decent job in North of London (Luton), but I don't want live there since I heard many bad things about it.

Can you please help and give me advices where I should go look for a safe and nice place to rent a studio/1bed apt. for around 700 pounds/month?

Thank you very much for all you help!!!

Answer 1

go and look at the area around Dunstable and Luton  you cannont go and live anywhere without looking at maps and visiting

I know its the computer age but thats not to replace  doing the legwork in person,Why not commute for a few weeks and settle into your new employment  see if you like it before  renting a property  Lutons only spitting distance on the train from London..

Answer 2

Camden is good and so is Finsbury Park, a great place to live and cheap.

Answer 3

Luton doesn't have the best reputation, although it must have some good parts.

London is expensive - why not try places in Hertfordshire - between London and Luton.

-Closer to Luton and still near London

-May be cheaper

- can live in town but still be very close to countryside.

- likely to be safer than North London

Sorry this isn't too specific - i don't really know too much about what the prices would be like - it's worth looking into places outside london though!

Answer 4

I'm biased in favour of Finsbury Park myself, this website could throw up some interesting possibilties

Look at how you'll get to work, the train goes from King's Cross - practically every tube line in London goes in there, as long as you're close to a tube/bus that can get you to King's Cross in a reasonable time you could go anywhere

Answer 5

Islington is very nice, @700 isnt a great deal for anywhere in London im afraid. But if i were you i would start looking in Islinton, avoid areas like kilburn.
