If you were going to buy a London flat for investment/second home where would you look?

[Metrictum]

It would be used as a wider family for visits for weekends etc.
Would likely also list it on air bnb to help finance the overheads.

We would want to be central enough to walk most places, safe area for single women to walk (as much as anywhere is).

Our entry points into London come in centrally.

No need for parking specifically.

One bed with room for a sofa bed, two bed at a push.

Covent Garden or Bloomsbury.

Marylebone. So many great places in walkable distance

As the previous posters said, Bloomsbury and Marylebone are both great places to be looking.

You're probably looking at around 60 - 70 sq metres (650 - 750 sq ft) at the upper end of that price range, usually with two beds or a one bed with larger rooms.

At the lower price range, you're probably looking at around 45-50 sq metres (500-550 sq ft) either that or it's bigger but not so near to a tube station.

If you want to put it on Airbnb, look at Bloomsbury, Camden, Borough/London Bridge. Somewhere within zone 1.

Loads of places I’d recommend if it was solely for personal use, but most tourists aren’t going to look at West Hampstead, Maida Vale, Brixton, Greenwich or Wapping.

Clerkenwell

Thanks these are great things to consider and area suggestions
