Where are the worst and best places in London??

I've lived in a Borough called Bromley virtually my whole life which is a great place to live yet not many people know about it (even though it is the largest Borough in London).
However, Bromley's next door neighbours Lewisham and Croydon are more well known. Although not for the right reasons.

Apparently Tower Hamlets is probably the most run-down place in London. The best I think is Kensington and Chelsea.

Yup it's a bit rough round the edges but it's friendly and safe despite it's more alternative residents!

Love the place Cheaper than other nice areas like Chelsea but within 15 mins walk of the stunning Primrose Hill

- Camden
- Safe
- No

Edmonton and tottenham are really **** areas, avoid going there.

Richmond is considered one of the best places. Most of South West London is nice, other than Brixton, Roehampton etc

Edmonton and tottenham are really **** areas, avoid going there.

Tottenham is a right dump tbh

Tottenham is a right dump tbh

Hey don't hate on Tottenham, some parts are actually not even that bad. I used to think it was all a hole until I moved there and I actually quite like the place now. There's nothing wrong with Tottenham Hale, it's just a retail park with some new modern developments, Seven Sisters is improving, they renovated the high road there and there's coffee shops now, Bruce Grove is still ****, Northumberland Park is still scary and the bit near Wood Green and Turnpike Lane actually has some nice well maintained houses tucked round the back which I presume is a result of wealthy people wanting to live in that area without paying for the expensive Hornsey postcode. I'd recommend Tottenham as a place to move because as people get priced out of zone 2 they are going to move there and gentrify the area because the transport links are excellent (N15 at least), there are a lot of new developments going on and it's cheap as chips.

As for Edmonton, I have nothing good to say about that place.

I've been staying at white hart lane,tottenham for 3 weeks now and i have to say that tottenham high road is so messed up.
The stadium is a mess. But from what i've seen at the construction going on, the entire area will be regenerated in probably 2 years or so.

Edmonton N18 has been my home for 9 years now and i've never liked it here.


Tottenham hale is a really good area, it's the tottenham high road i'm talking about.
The construction going on at tottenham hale is causing so much traffic and diversions.
The 230 bus (leyton-wood green) that i take to go college everyday has been diverted to stamford hill road and i nearly got lost the other day.

Well tbh, everywhere is being rejenerated. But i've never liked north london. I think east london is more of my home...if only it was though.

Edmonton has always been messed up. My secondary school is in the N18 area, i'm glad i've finally left after 6 years.

Whitechapel is quite bad.

I have no idea how London can be so bad when there was so much cash sploshing around back in 2005.

It's completely odd. :/

Where in the borough do you live to make that statement?

Camden at night is just full of crack heads and drunks, I've seen every kind of weirdo in that place. It's not dangerous though.

Tottenham is an absolute sh!t hole. I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone to move there, and this is coming from someone that is born and raised around the area. It's the home of the riots, full of drugs, robberies, burglaries and prostitution. They are redeveloping the area, but that will take years to take effect.

And that's why it's 'cheap as chips' lol.

It's actually not that bad and this is coming from someone who used to hate the area with a passion. Riots, riots started in Notting Hill once and now look at the place, Drugs, everywhere is full of drugs, Robberies, there are more robberies in Wood Green a policeman told me this. Burglaries, burglars go for rich areas, prostitution, the only time I've ever seen hookers in Haringey was on Green Lanes which is not in Tottenham. Nothing wrong with prostitution anyway.

I agree that Tottenham is mostly a ****hole but what I'm trying to say is a) the crime isn't that much worse than other areas if you look at the stats, the area just has a reputation b) the western side of Tottenham is quite nice. It's quiet, leafy and the houses are decent.

Haringey has the highest burglary rate in the UK, most of it in Wood Green and Tottenham. I know people that have been burgled 5+ times in N17... And its full of street prostitutes at night and brothels that have pimps controlling them. The crime is a lot higher than other areas, it's just that most of it is criminals vs criminals, so it never gets reported.

Yeah Tottenham high road is ghetto, for years I was too scared to go there at night. But what I'm saying is that the bits round the back away from the main area aren't that bad.

They did the same with the 341 bus, it did some next long diversion up to Stamford Hill bus garage and back. If the diversions are screwing up your journey why not try getting the train from South Tottenham to Leyton Midland Road? It's like three stops.
