Hello!
Which area is better to live in?
Whitechapel, Brent Cross, Kilburn, Tufnell Park?
In which order?
I currently reside in Turnpike Lane and it is absolutely horrible.
Thanks

Or any other suggestion?0

If you find Turnpike Lane horrible then you probably won't like Kilburn or Brent Cross.
From your list I'd say Tufnell Park but it's very expensive.
Any other suggestions would be entirely dependent on your budget. Beggars can't be choosers and all that0 -
Well you have given no budget and no idea what your are after....so another suggestion for nicer area is Mayfair , Chelsea, Pitney, Richmond0
-
Pitney? You missed out Barnes, Highgate and Hampstead as well0
-
My budget would be below 500 pcm for a self-contained studio (with own kitchen, bathroom/wc, furnished, etc) all inclusive of bills
no far than london zone 30 -
are you good in searching properties?
can you find me something online with these criteria?
- less than zone 3
- seperate bath/wc/kitchen
- less than 500 pcm0 -
Type 'London' into the RM rental search facility. Choose 'flats/apartments' - not a lot comes up. Your choices are going to be extremely limited on that budget.

You're going to have to prioritise and/or compromise your requirements because I suspect you'll have to ditch one or more of them in order to find anything at that price.
I know people who pay a great deal more than that in flat or house-shares with bills on top.0 -
Exactly B&T - can't see you doing it unless you share. Especially to include all bills/have a separate bathroom!
