Which London flat would you rent? (listings)

Flat A: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/86880774#/?channel=RES_LET

Flat B: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/147129065#/?channel=RES_LET

Flat A is a 35 minute commute to work on the Northern Line. Flat B is a short walk.

The Barbican is a fantastic place to live
. A good friend of mine lived there. Commuting is horrible. So I'm firmly in camp B.

Oooh I'd love to live in the Barbican! Only downside is there's no park nearby if you enjoy a walk / run.

flat B has already been taken off right move, so flat A it looks beautiful!

Flag A would get my vote

Flat B but it's gone. Mostly for the area, wouldn't be able to live there with kids etc. Flat A looks lovely but more of a family area.

Flat B if you can still get it. Lived a short walk away and often spent time in the open areas. I'm able to walk to work to my office in zone 1 and it's so freeing not to be affected by strikes, engineering works, delays and the shoving on a tube commute. I used to head to the Thames path for a run.

Flat A because Clapham would allow me to switch off and separate work from personal life.

B - but in all honesty it's bonkers expensive! I'd live in Kent and commute in

How old are you?

I’d say flat B for the opportunity to live in central London.

The northern line on that stretch is an absolute nightmare and I’d avoid a commute that went through the Claphams as a result.

Looks like b is gone, and I liked the living room, but a has so much more character and homely feeling

Flat A. I used to live round the corner. Lovely area. But Northern Line is hideous so I used to cycle to work into the City. No hills and a cycle route all the way - actually quicker than the tube. The Barbican is very marmite. You either think its a thing of brutalist beauty or ugly and soulless. I'm definitely in the latter camp.

B definitely. It's the nicer flat and shorter commute.

A. More character and more 'homely'.

My brother lives on the same road as flat A - it's a lovely area. Abbevile road has got a village type feel too 🥰

Love flat A

Fucking hell, the prices! Flat B is exactly £1,000 a month more than my take home pay
