Hello all, I'm making a big move from paris to London next month and am looking at properties for me and my 'DD' as people here seem to call it.
We have seen a flat in Belgravia which we absolutely loved, but the area seemed a little bit pricey and soulless, as well as a semi on Clarendon Road in Notting Hill.
Personally I'm swinging towards the luxury of a real garden and my own front door (We never had either in Paris) but reading about NH I see theres the carnival which apparently has gotten a bit raucous these days. I remember going to carnival on my second trip to London back in the 90's and it seemed like a street party, but i'm reading about stabbings and drugs all over the place nowadays...
Don't get me wrong, I come from Paris, there's probably someone in my building selling drugs, but I am concerned by the images I see of boarded up houses and damage to property. The estate agent just said it was like a street parade (does he think i'm thick??) but now i'm just not sure if it's the right place to live... Any locals able to help me out?
Ps. excuse my English, and please don't recommend looking at houses in South Kensington...
