    Walford, I heard the houses on Albert Square were nice.
    And full of crooks who don't have a washing machine in their own home!

    Hey

    I'm about to graduate and my dad offered to help me in my job search. So he told me he is willing to support me by paying the rent for 6 months as a gift

    Anyway, I'm looking for a studio [30-35 m2], in an area that is trendy & lively [bars/pubs/shops...] and not far from a big park.

    And I'm interested in either East or North London [zone 1 or 2].

    A friend told me shoreditch is a good area to start looking at.

    Hopefully I'll have more opinions thanks
    Why dont you share? You would save a lot of money, plus assume £200 a week is just rent? You got to think of bills, travelling etc...

    There are not many studios for that price which are good, especially in central london.

    I've been living for 5 years in student halls, I think it's time to have my own space
