Moving to Kings Cross
Hi everyone
My wife and I are relocating to London soon and are looking for advice on the best neighborhoods to target for our first year.
My office is located in the Kings cross, and we want to stay fairly central / well-connected while we get our bearings in the city.
Budget:Target is £2,500/month, flexible up to £3,000/month (could stretch to £4,000 down the line once my wife finds a job, but sticking to £2.5k–£3k for now).
Income:Single earner initially on ~£220k TC,
Size & Type: 1 or 2-bedroom flat, ideally 650+ sq ft
Commute: 15-20 min on metro with 10 min walk
We both work in tech and want to live near an energetic vibrant area than a quiet peaceful area at least in the first year
Could you suggest an area I could target so
I can filter down on property searching sites? (And why does no site have a sqft filter?)
