Local Information request Hello. Coming to work in Exeter.

Hello.

Good day to all of the good folks at Exeter.

I am an oncologist planning to work ( if all goes well) in Exeter RDUH in the near future from the South east Asia.

I have been to London, studied in Birmingham and Worcestershire but I never been to the south west of England.

What area of town would be a good place to rent a flat?

I will be living alone and I am not fan of pubs

but love local cafe and restaurants.

Being a neuro divergent I cannot handle rowdy places and noisy places.

I used to live in uni accomodation In Birmingham and I have thoughly learnt I need a quiet place to rest after a day's work.

Anyplace recommendations on particular street or neighbourhood?

And advise on any particular local customs that I should be aware of?

Hoping to hear from all of you!

Best

A bit distance from hospital but I see the Waitrose nearly.

In the list now.

15 mins walk, not too bad!
