Top 5 areas to live in London

Kensington

If it’s good enough for the royals, it’s good enough for us.

Kensington is one of London’s most elegant areas, from its beautiful landscapes in Hyde Park’s Kensington Gardens to the Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, it’s filled with greenery.

Right alongside the greenery you have Kensington High Street and the streets surrounding which offer an array of shops, cafes, restaurants, and buzzing pubs.

Not to mention Equinox and Whole Foods, which are conveniently located next to one another for health junkies, Kensington is the perfect place to suit anyone wanting to fit their personal and work lifestyle around the location of their home.

You will also find plenty of history, including the iconic V & A Museum, Royal Albert Hall, Natural History Museum, as well as being right besides one of London’s most famous landmarks, Harrods.

With the average rental price coming in at £1,109.00 per week, Kensington comes in at the highest price on the list. 

Chelsea

Known as one of London’s most prestigious areas, we have Chelsea. Experience luxury shopping from some of the biggest names in fashion on Sloane Street, and make your way over to Sloane Square to sip on a coffee and people watch at high-end French café Colbert. Alternatively, you also have King’s Road for high street shopping.

The residential spaces in Chelsea contain some of London’s prettiest streets and architecture, as well as well as views of the Thames.

Chelsea rental prices presently average £988.00 per week, making it the second highest on the list.

Marylebone

Marylebone High Street might just be the cutest street in London – filled with chic boutique stores, upscale dining, and trendy cafes. Every Sunday, you’ll find Marylebone Farmers’ Market with vendors selling everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to Oysters, and smoked mozzarella from Italy.

In Marylebone you’ll also find Chiltern Street, which is recognised as London’s coolest street.

For greenery, why not grab a coffee from London’s iconic Baker Street, take a walk, and enjoy the beautiful sceneries of Regent’s Park, with several beautiful gardens and landscapes including Queen Mary’s Gardens which is overflowing with roses.

The average rental price in Marylebone is £829.00 per week.

Notting Hill

This one probably goes without saying. Notting Hill contains some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including Portobello Market, colourful houses, and the most gorgeous mews.

It also includes unique independent shops, restaurants, and bars, which you can spend days long exploring. If you’re a fan of antiques and vintage shopping, Notting Hill is the perfect hotspot.

The current average rental price for a property in Notting Hill is £658.00 per week.

Fulham

If you want to enjoy the benefits of London’s shopping amenities, yet also appreciate local, residential living, then Fulham is for you.

If you’re a fan of London’s pub life you’re also in luck, as locals benefit from some of London’s most charming pubs. If you’re looking to enjoy good music and cocktails, check out The Prince, for a pint in the sun, The Crabtree has a beautiful outdoor terrace, and for a Sunday roast which you can’t miss, you’ll want to visit The Dove.

Currently, the average price to rent a property in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is £611.00 per week.
