Whether you are new to London or have lived here all your life, knowing the best places to live is important if you are planning on settling down and having a family. Pick a place that’s too good, and you will constantly be playing catch-up with your neighbours and never truly be happy where you live.

Choose one that is in a less than desirable area, and you could regret moving there for many other reasons.

 

When looking for a place to live, a lot of things need to be considered including schools, parking, distance to work, shopping and restaurants and how expensive the area is to live in. Here at Let Britain, we have researched the local area and come up with a listing of the top 10 best places to live in London and the top 10 worst places to live.
