That’s an outrageous generalisation

Dalston/Hackney - If you like to party with other creative types with more ideas than money.

Shoreditch - If you like to party with wealthier creative types along with hoards of bridge and tunnel at the weekend.

Camden/Kentish Town - If like to party with left-wing music lovers, goths and Amy Winehouse fans from Stuttgart.

Good luck. London is still fun.

OP go for Stoke Newington, anywhere near Victoria Park or for slightly more urban in places but v cool, Peckham or Dalston. Camden and Kentish Town still ok partic if you like buying drugs.
South-West London is for middle class families who like going to bakeries and talking about mortgages.
Forget West London or anywhere near Regents Park, you can’t afford it.
(V safe for gays everywhere. Vauxhall is a big LGB community)

If you’re renting, you’ll want to be central and enjoying all that London has to offer.

Stoke Newington / Homerton / Hackney / London Fields is full of creative industry professionals. It might make you feel like you live in an echo chamber however. More of a community feel.

Shoreditch / Liverpool St is a mixture of creative types and wealthier corporate professionals. More gentrified.

Clapham / Balham / Wandsworth is full of posh, university educated graduates (probs aged 21-35) who all work in a mixture of finance, consulting, recruitment, and then the mid 50’s professionals who bought houses for £20 which are now worth £2Million+.
You’ll have a good time there though. Avoid Infernos.

Wimbledon / Richmond is lovely, quieter, very affluent suburbs. Not a very young crowd.

Other spots in North London that are quiet, but near the fun;
Angel, Belsize Park, St Johns Wood

West London is dead tbh
Fulham, Chelsea etc aren’t worth the price

Visa friends! Had an interview in London, got the verbal, and am doing the visa dance.
