    Living right in Central London

    Any experience of people living right in the center of London? And I mean Covent Garden or Westminster, no, I don't mean Richmond or Kew Gardens sorry.... :-)

    What is it like if you have children to be there?
    Sounds like afterall it is not that incredibly expensive as people might think.

    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      Define central London (Like only zone 1 or 1/2?).

      And what you after - family friendly ish or young and funky?

        Depends what you want. No garden but central London has loads of green spaces/parks.
        I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

          Council tax is as cheap as chips - seriously.

          The closer you get to the MP's the cheaper living becomes really..

            I mean Covent Garden or Westminster. Not even the whole zone 1 really. Or Victoria/Charing Cross let's say...

            I was thinking of a family situation because, well, there is no doubt that it would be like a dream for a young and funky single to live there...

                  But that's exactly my point. It's not that expensive afterall. Ok that flat is about 1700-1800 a month. But you save on council tax and transport to go out (you can walk to anything). Beats a flat in a good zone 2 area at 1500 a month plus more council tax.

                    This stroke me a lot about londoners. They don't like the center, they think it's just a tourist thing. If you go to most european cities everybody would dream to live in the centers.
