I like the vibe a lot, it’s a safe area and with a lot of safe open spaces for children making it an ideal place for families
Transport
The transportation is excellent it has plenty of bus routes going from Liverpool Street to places like Enfield, Stratford, Ilford. The night buses go from the west end to Romford and Walthamstow all going through e1

The LiveableStreets street initiative has cut down on traffic noise and due to some very good primary Colombia primary and Virginia primary schools it mostly families in the area
Amenities
This area is includes shoreditch high street and Colombia rd,it has really good restaurants and amazing night spots. There is pizza east ( pre lockdown) which was always buzzing, there is Boxpark which has amazing restaurants to suit every taste from vegan to raging carnivore and everything in between, favourite is blackbear burger which is 😋😋😋. There is the flower market every Sunday on Colombia rd which can’t be beat the shops are also little gems which can’t copied anywhere else the art galleries have amazing pieces. Then there is bricklane which has the best beigals in London, that’s just a fact and of the street there is a park full of amazing graffiti( accessible art for the masses) also a plethora of restaurants and on Sunday it’s transformed into a shopping area with amazing stalls with everything from art to clothes from artisans all over the globe and the food is everything from vegan Ethiopian food to regional Malaysian food. I could go on but I couldn’t communicate the atmosphere in words it has to be experienced. After lockdown and vaccinations of course, stay safe
Lovely place to live in with shops being a walking distance and Westfield Stratford 2 stops away on train.
I would say this area is very safe to live in. I love the fact that everything is walking distance from here. We have a few parks, shops, eateries and local supermarkets.
Transport
We have three train stations that are local to us, many bus routes too. I would say 32 years of living here and I’ve never had a problem going from one destination to another using public transport. We also have a couple of local taxi firms if more comfortable travelling in cars. I would say public transport is highly reliable. Ofcourse there have been delays some days but employees are very helpful.

My street has both home owners and renters. We have a mixture of families and couples living here. Very quite where I live and away from traffic. We are able to rent out parking spaces but sadly the cost of visitors parking is very expensive and very hard to get hold of parking round here.
Amenities
Bethnal Green has a variety of popular supermarkets such as Tesco, Iceland and Sainsbury. The area also has a good variety of independent grocery stores and corner shops as well as a market selling variety of things from fruit and veg, to home goods to clothing. It also has a range of ethnic shops selling Asian attires, cafes selling delicious breakfast and lunches, fried chicken shops and a couple of pubs that have been there for a very long period of time. Short walking distance is popular spitalfield market and shoreditch, which again has a variety of cafes and eateries. Overall, this area is a delight and safe place to live in with everything available at walking distance. I would say the area has everything that is needed (minus a shopping centre lol). It has a train station and many buses going through the area. Love it.
Cheap and Livable
In need of regeneration
Transport
2 major train stations, one 5 min walk away (Whitechapel) and the other 10min walk away (Bethnal Green). Both are not clean but are reliable with train timings.
Community
Lots of parking, dependable bin collection, little bit of anti-social behaviour but not a big deal, little traffic noise, people living on my street are mostly families
Amenities
Range and quality of local shops: gigantic Sainsbury 5min walking away with all groceries, pharmacy, etc inside. Range and quality of local restaurants: Nandos is very good for eat-in dining 10min walking going south, and some decent restaurants (South American, British, etc) 15min walking away going north.
There are a lot of green spaces (public parks, a farm, playgrounds), plenty of bars and restaurants
