Best
I like the bit from Hammersmith bridge down to Putney. Houses are overpriced fro what they are, but the area isn't too bad for the usual London crimewave. There's an excellent Thai on Fulham Pallace road and the best Indian I've ever been in is just around the corner in Chiswick. The pubs are OK too.
Worst
Had the misfortune to stay at a mates in Wembley during one contract, erm:xComment

Having a place in Wimbledon at the moment is good. You can rent it out for £2k a week to some Japanese businessman.Comment

Best place I've lived in - Marylebone - with Regents Park just over the road. Primrose Hill and Maida Vale look good too. (Like sasguru I'm in Hoxton now too - no greenery so I jump on the tube to go to Regents Park if I'm in London at weekends.)
Worst place - Wood Green. What a hellhole - only decent thing is the kebab shopsComment

It seems to me
...that you can divide London down the middle.
West London is OK with some good bits, while east London is a large sh1thole with some even worse bits.
Millwall is up there with the worst.Comment

Re: It seems to me
The only nice things about East London is its convienient and cheap.
Other than that Gloucester Road, Queensway area is my favourite although too pricy for my wallet at this stage.Comment

Re: It seems to me
Hard to find newly built homes in London. For the best areas... how about Battersea Park if you don't have a fortune to spend for chelsea or Hampstead?Comment
