Let’s say money were no object and you wanted to live in the best neighborhood in London for ad industry events and networking and making the most of every minute for your career…where would you live? Soho? Spitalfield? Notting Hill? Make your case!

If money were no object I'd want my life to be about something other than just advertising...

Most industry events are Soho or Shoreditch. A lot of industry people live in Hackney, Dalston, London Fields, Stock Newington etc. which I actively avoid to not go crazy.

funny

what's so crazy about East??

You’ve basically just listed the poshest or most central London places. If I had to give a serious answer, it would be find out where all the younger-leaning creatives live. Not the older creatives who have settled down with families. Absolutely nothing central London. Never in a million years.

No one makes any actual worthwhile connections at events lol we go to events for free food and drinks and bounce

Probably somewhere in Shoreditch

Thoughts on St. John’s wood or Primrose Hill?

Really far from the center of advertising. Good for food, pubs, and parks
