Living right in Central London

[Francko]

Any experience of people living right in the center of London? And I mean Covent Garden or Westminster, no, I don't mean Richmond or Kew Gardens sorry.... :-)

What is it like if you have children to be there?
Sounds like afterall it is not that incredibly expensive as people might think.

Define central London (Like only zone 1 or 1/2?).

And what you after - family friendly ish or young and funky?

Depends what you want. No garden but central London has loads of green spaces/parks.

Council tax is as cheap as chips - seriously.

The closer you get to the MP's the cheaper living becomes really..

I mean Covent Garden or Westminster. Not even the whole zone 1 really. Or Victoria/Charing Cross let's say...

I was thinking of a family situation because, well, there is no doubt that it would be like a dream for a young and funky single to live there...

But that's exactly my point. It's not that expensive afterall. Ok that flat is about 1700-1800 a month. But you save on council tax and transport to go out (you can walk to anything). Beats a flat in a good zone 2 area at 1500 a month plus more council tax.

This stroke me a lot about londoners. They don't like the center, they think it's just a tourist thing. If you go to most european cities everybody would dream to live in the centers.
