    Hounslow-Ealing...some suggestions on where to look for a house in London
    Hi!

    I'm an Italian guy and,if my IELTS results will be satisfactory,I'm going to study Psychology at UWL,brentford site.

    As a consequence,I've looked at some of the surrounding zones and I'd like to live in one of them because they are relatively close to the university.

    the zones are:

    Borough of Hounslow:
    -Chiswick
    -Brentford
    -Grove Park
    -Gunnersbury
    -Osterley
    -Isleworth
    -Lampton
    -Spring Grove
    -Woodlands

    Borough of Ealing:
    -South Acton
    -West Acton
    -Bedford Park
    -Ealing
    -West Ealing
    -Hanwell


    So,to sum up,my questions are:

    Taking into consideration room prices,transports,quantities of restaurants/pub/bar(for having more opportunities to find a part-time job near my house) and "security"...

    ...How can I narrow down this list?
    Some suggestions from whom is living/has lived in one of the zones mentioned above?


    Thanks you all!

    Have you considered the halls of residence at the Brentford campus? It'd literally be on your doorstep and you pay the rent in instalments so when you get it paid you're sorted for a good three to four months to just enjoy living there! And if you want to go to Ealing there is the free shuttle bus every 20 minutes.

    I say that of course after living there for seven months. Definitely give it a look.

    I know,but I'll move with my girlfriend(she's going to work and maybe start a MA later,but not at UWL)so it's impossible to have a double room at the halls of residence because my girlfriend is an "external"...however i considered this choice
