Where could I live in London for £750k?

No kids. 1 bedroom flat is fine. 2 would be preferable but I appreciate it might be a stretch to get anything at all with that budget.

I really like Kentish town and prefer zone 2. Ideally I'd like to be near a fairly good high street hence Kentish town and I just really like the area. I have relatively little knowledge of other parts of London so any help would be appreciated. TIA

if you want quiet streets and a high street around Kensington high street /south Kensington is also nice and would fit the bill.
i might be bias though as i think Kensal Rise is not a very nice area, and certainly around the tube is not great later at night

I think Maida Vale is a great option for exactly what you are describing

You’d get a decent flat in Maida Vale or Queen’s Park for that.

Or Tufnell Park up from Kentish Town www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/114365309#/?channel=RES_BUY

Thanks all. I'll look into the areas suggested. I'm not sure what's bizarre about asking for advice on London areas when you aren't local but perhaps it is.

I do have friends who live in London but they keep suggesting around their areas(Herne Hill, Stoke Newington and Walworth, well the latter suggested Brixton) so I wanted a wider range of views.

sorry i meant bizarre that people think or get suggestions that 750 k would not buy a really nice 1 bed, and infact many zone1/2 border areas you will get a nice 2 bed.
herne hill is quite a way out for example...
but as i said i am bias as i love notting hill !

£750k is a healthy budget for a one bed flat in London especially at the moment when there are deals to be done.

Other areas to consider:
Arsenal/Highbury
Whitechapel
Clapham Junction
Stoke Newington
Hammersmith
Brondesbury/Kilburn
Angel
Pimlico
Homerton

this is a lovely lovely road and a short walk ( few mins) to portobello rd
i like it as has tiny garden - low maintenance and the bedroom is really big for london flat sizes

Apologies for the confusion. My brain cells are on a permanent break. Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it.

I have a friend who lives in HH. He loves it. We've always met up elsewhere but I think I'll have to pay him a visit soon.

I'm aghast at the prices of those flats that PPs have posted links for. They're nice flats, but so very expensive! Shock

cimena · 15/10/2022 18:04

Off Stoke newington church st
Off portobello road
Primrose Hill
area around Camden Road overground
Canonbury / Barnsbury / De Beauvoir
Clerkenwell - the section just below angel tube

£750k will buy you a one or two bed flat with a garden in any of these, just about picking the right one and how much flat you get for the money will depend on the area

Look at south east London. You could definitely get a house in the ‘good’ part of Hither Green (around Manor House Gdns), or a flat in Blackheath or Greenwich. That said, I’d be tempted to sit tight until next year and rent in the meantime.

KentishWay · 15/10/2022 19:23

Thank you all. I appreciate the links and suggestions. There's areas mentioned that I didn't think I could afford and others that I haven't explored so you've gave me a lot to think about which I'm very grateful for.
