LONDON BRIDGE: THE NORTH and EAST of LONDON

For anyone looking to live in a trendy and fashionable part of London then Islington is the place for you. Located 10 mins north of Central London on the Northern line, Islington displays a thriving haven for shoppers, theatre-goers and diners alike. Its close to the financial part heart of the City and the West End, and yet it retains its own identity and sense of pride. As you'd expect from a cutting edge multicultural community, there are leading theatres, arthouse and mainstream cinemas and restaurants, bars and clubs that cater for all tastes.

If you are looking to live somewhere more affordable then the South East of London is becoming a popular place to live amongst our overseas teachers. The South East has become one of the best connected places in London, with quick and easy access in to central London. It's cheaper than most other areas to live, and with the region benefiting from the Olympics funding to refurbish the area, it has become a popular area for workers looking for affordable rent prices. I would recommend Greenwich and Lewisham:

Greenwich itself is home to one of England's top Universities, hence it being popular for singles and young couples to live. There are many bars and restaurants to choose from to wind down and meet new people, and with the new O2 arena (formerly known as the Millennium Dome) drawing in the crowds to see all the top music artists from around the world, and screening all the latest films in its new cinema complex, there is something to choose for everyone.

Lewisham can offer as much peace and quiet or hustle and bustle, as you want. It all depends where you look. Lewisham is at the centre of south London, neighbouring Lambeth, Greenwich and Southwark and providing quick access to the clubs of Brixton, bars of Clapham and the Tate Modern. Lewisham itself is now touted as 'up and coming', with a growing number of bars, pubs, clubs and other leisure facilities. There are numerous train and bus routes throughout the borough, running directly into central London - to Charring Cross, Cannon Street, Waterloo, London Bridge and Victoria. It takes around ten minutes from Lewisham's town centre to London Bridge. Night buses also run throughout the small hours from the centre.
