I would avoid south and East of where you’re at and go north or south. Islington/central areas around holborn/Bloomsbury/fitzrovia tend to have better transport links and are really buzzy on the weekends. It’s more convenient for someone new to London.

East anywhere in Tower hamlets will be comparatively cheap, well connected and have dome bits going on. There are q lot of new build to rent developments like FizzyLiving popping up that are good options

Alternatively, South around Bermondsey, Canada Water etc isn't bad either - a bit more expensive though

Mentioning the programs is greatly appreciated.
