On that salary zone 2 is your oyster, you’ll find lots of your intake will be living around south-west - Clapham, Stockwell, Brixton. Old street/Angel would be good options too if you don’t mind spending a little more, as you might be able to walk to your office.
Good suggestions from D1 and A1. I’d recommend Angel and Islington. Though it is more expensive and will take a large chunk of your salary. I used to walk from Angel to Chancery Lane. Definitely don’t underestimate the bus network. There are some quick buses into central and I rarely if ever caught the tube.
The South West is great if you like the outdoors as there are lots of parks/golf courses etc. I’m in Wimbledon which I’d say is a bit far out if you have to go in often - I work near Bank but can work from home full time so I find myself going in once a week just to see people, and it works out to be 40 minutes door to door. Have a look at Southfields, earlsfield, Wandsworth, Putney as they’re closer to central London but not too expensive.

I’m quite content in east London. If you’re on the central line you’ll find no problem getting to Chancery Lane. I only know of a Capgemini office and maybe a Deloitte one there rather than Accenture, but cool!
Try east, look at Canning Town, Stratford, Mile End, Bethnal Green. Pay less, get a vibe, still be close to work.

Yeah, I'm pivoting from industry and they seemed like a good fit
