🇬🇧 Where to live in London
London's residential areas split roughly into the central districts built around dining, theatre and museums, the west-side areas of elegant terraces and boutiques, and the north and east neighborhoods known for markets, independent shops and live music. South of the river, Clapham and Greenwich trade central density for commons, parks and riverside. Every area listed here sits within a few minutes' walk of a rapid-transit station.
