One of the world’s greatest cities to reside in, London is a hub of culture with ample places to explore, and with that, it can be overwhelming when choosing where to put down roots. Whether you’re seeking a new home in the heart of the West End or the quieter life in the outer boroughs of the capital, choosing where to live can be a difficult task.
Which Area of London Is Right for You?
A playground of captivating history and modern innovation, residents of the UK’s capital city have it all at their fingertips. From regeneration areas on the outskirts that boast exceptional travel connections to the heart of the capital, to living and breathing the hustle and bustle of the city centre, finding that perfect neighbourhood is dependent on many factors. Here’s our guidance to help you make the right decision.
Top Locations for a First-Time Buyer
For first-time homebuyers seeking a London postcode without the London price tag, Romford is a fantastic choice. Situated on the capital’s outskirts in the London Borough of Havering, suburban Romford benefits from leafy surroundings and local amenities, but enjoys unmatched commuter links into Central London. Whilst this promising area of East London is rising in popularity thanks to forthcoming Crossrail plans, property prices are remaining relatively low. Despite its recent resurgence, first-time buyers who purchase a home now in Romford can look forward to a good return when selling in the future.
Papermill House comprises a collection of 115 well-refined properties located within a 13 minute walk of Romford station. This development boasts Galliard’s hallmark specifications, ensuring optimum comfort and durability for residents. A number of exclusive incentives on offer — including a free furniture package and a service charge contribution — will make moving in even easier.

But not only is Southall’s connectivity second to none, this lively location is also awash with great pubs and restaurants in addition to many nearby parks and open spaces for some calm and composure.
A sensational residential scheme located just seven minutes’ walk from Southall station, Citypark Gardens showcases a superb range of modern properties spanning three blocks.
