Near Upper Street in Islington is good. West Hampstead is beautiful. Marylebone, Notting Hill, Kensington also good but pricey. Clapham and Fulham are okay - they’re just full of South Africans and Australians. Shoreditch is trendy but v.hipster if that’s your thing. Avoid Peckham, Brixton, Newham, Hackney, Elephant and Castle etc. Canary Wharf also suuuuper boring!

It doesn’t make sense for us to switch now and get double taxed when we haven’t lifted off the ground. This is pre launch. Any advice?
