Depends on £££ but I love Hampstead

we’re in West Hampstead - had a similar budget and recently purchased a 2 bed flat, great transit links and walking distance to hampstead. also really like the Queen’s Park neighbourhood which is priced similarly. caveat that we’re a young family with a baby, if I was single and looking for more of a scene I’d suggest checking out tower bridge area or bermondsey.

Op - £130k post taxes or...?

Crystal Palace

What are you looking for? A place for potential future kids or somewhere for a young couple to enjoy? If the former I’d like further out or south west near the parks, like Teddington, or Enfield, or Chiswick. If the latter a flat in central.

Putney

Ever since I've put my resignation a different kind of fear is there in my head.

But then I wasn't able to manage my sleep schedule, work and classes daily. At the end I was hospitalized because my body gave up.

Its better to take calculated risks than regret for your whole life.

Thoughts?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)
