Islington, Hampstead / St John's Wood, Primrose Hill. Clapham Junction off Northcote Road is popular. Wimbledon Village very nice but not a great commute. These are all quite premium options but for a US firm associate (assuming they pay US scale or thereabouts) they may be worth checking out.
I've been at a US firm for c. 7 years and recently moved to Earlsfield - between CJ and Wimbledon. Works for me re balancing greenery and commute. I didn't like living in Zone 1 but if your priority is sleep & work then places like Clerkenwell / Farringdon are right on your doorstep.

That's great. Much appreciated 👍

I have recently received an offer from HSBC for Data Engineer profile. The designation offered is Senior Analyst- Information Management. They said that it is a techno functional role. Does anyone have an idea about what techno functional role actually is in HSBC? Is it more like a Business Analyst? My prior experience is completely in Technical side. Will this role be suitable for me?

Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you.
