<p>Hey, London and vicinity residents. My H and I are planning to move to the UK for the 3rd time - this time to central London. We have lived in Cambridge for graduate school and Croydon (briefly) while I was working in a training programme in the 90’s. This time, H will be working in Soho (between Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Rd tube stops). I need recommendations on areas to live. Here’s our preferences: short commute (less than 20 minutes), walking distance to Piccadilly, Central or Northern line, 2 bedroom flat around 2,000gbp/month, close to shops because we won’t have a car. Oh and we don’t have kids at home so don’t really care about schools.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Well, I don’t know about prices, but definitely look at North and Northwest London - Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Finchley, Barnet etc. All are on the Piccadilly or Northern lines, and all are centered around little residential villages full of shops and restaurants.</p>

<p>I’ve lived in one of these areas all my life and I absolutely love it.</p>
