When it comes to living in London, each area is so unique, how do you find the best place for you? We’ve got the answer…
London aka ‘the big smoke’, is home to over 8 million people and covers about 610 square miles. The sheer vastness and diversity of living in London attracts people from across the world that want to settle in the capital, however the choice can be overwhelming for some people. Depending on your lifestyle and a bunch of other factors you might want to live in the uber-hipster East end or does the peace and tranquillity of outer London boroughs such as Bromley or Havering tickle your fancy?

The choices are endless but the comparison map of London from Randstad can help make it a little easier. The London Borough map allows users to select up to five preferences such as greenspace, rental affordability, happiness, public transport or a range of others that you’ll want to take into consideration. The tool will then rank London boroughs based on the most suitable to your selection – you might be surprised at some the results.
Did you know that Islington is the most densely populated borough in London? Or that Bexley is home to eco-warriors, having the highest number of households recycling? The London Boroughs map is great at highlighting areas that you might not have even previously considered to live in due to a variety of different reasons. Whether you thought the commute would be too long or there wasn’t enough green space, London has something to offer everyone.
Mark Bull, CEO at Randstad UK and Middle East, commented: “London is an enormous city… its size and diversity means knowing where to live is slightly stressful at the best of times, and downright daunting at the worst.”
“Many of us have been offered misguided advice from friends and family when house-hunting in the capital. “Such-and-such is the place to be!” we’re told, long after the area was declared uncool.”
“That’s where this tool comes in handy. There’s no one size fits all solution when deciding where to live, and our priorities differ greatly depending on our lifestyle, family commitments, job and so on.”
So, if your still indecisive about which corner of the capital you’d like to call home. The Randstad London Boroughs may just be the answer.
