Liverpool Street - eastside crossing that massive f off road to get to Latham, FBD, K&E, that area. The abyss of nothingness.
Liverpool Street - westside round Spitalfields, around A&O, Ashurst and Akin - the market and grimy East London, Brick Lane
St Paul's, Bank area - Eversheds, Dechert, Travers, Goodwin, close to the river to walk over to the Tate Modern, south of the river generally, not a million miles away from Holborn
West End - ???

This is unfair. This thread has potential. Proximity to Pret, sandwich shops and public transport is basically 99% of the differential in working environments.

Isn't Thameslink a gash line? Think it goes to Radlett which is meant to be nice.

Thameslink does st Albans and a few of the nice herts towns and villages like harpenden and radlett. Also Brighton and Cambridge. Not bad.

After moving to the West End I can safely say that everywhere in the City is mildly depressing. Don't miss the City a single little bit.

West end is full of posh public school boys who don't wear socks
The city is full of posh public school boys who don't wear socks
Hey! Wait a minute.
WHY DO POSH SCHOOLS NOT TEACH HOW TO PUT SOCKS ON

Liverpool St area is good as it has some real edgelands to the east, north and north west of it as well as quite a lot of good places to eat and drink, And now great connections via the Lizzie Line,
The quarter bordering commercial street south of Spitalfields/ Bishops Square is now full of good and reasonably priced cafes, coffee shops, barbers and so on.
Ive always thought the area around Middlesex St and zhawrrow Place was one of the places where the City’s borders were starkest. The cool and formal, marble-clad east face of the plush Devonshire Square office development faces hard onto a council estate and gritty street markets.

I moved around a fair bit over the years - the area round St Paul’s and Old Bailey was best.

Mike Tyson doesn't either
Says it puts him in warrior mode
But then he also appears bare chested for the full look

WC2/Holborn/Fleet Street,EC4, St Pauls. They make my commute ridiculously easier, one train, then a ten minute walk at worst. Those are not the reasons why I think they are the best though.

I find the City proper, too busy, overcrowded , noisy, polluted and soul less. And who wants to get on the Waterloo & City Line.

I’d say best are the north end of bishopsgate, bordering shoreditch (and what laz said about Middlesex street) and the Clerkenwell/Farringdon area
Worst are a 5 min walk radius around Bank and anywhere west of Holborn.

Thameslink stops at West Hampstead - as well as NW6 itself, it is an easy stroll to the station from Hampstead or St John’s Wood. Also Harpenden & St Albans.

I quite like the area that's approximately 200 miles WSW of the City centre.
