Timeout’s best places to live in London 2025

[Earl Aelfheah]

East Dulwich placed at number 4. Seems a little low to me 😉 

[Spartacus]

Apparently it would have been higher, except for the random discussions on the EDF 🤣

North Berwick is the best place to live.

Camberwell has been placed as number 4 in the coolest neighbourhoods to live IN THE WORLD, so I wouldn't give it too much time 🫠

What exactly do you have against Camberwell? 

[Loutwo]

More self indulgence from TimeOut.  Who takes notice of these surveys anyway?

As much as I don’t mind Camberwell, 4th coolest place in the world to live? I just spat my tea out. Someone’s been on the whacky backy if they’re thinking that.

Or sleeping with the journalist writing the list 🤣

These lists are constantly appearing in various places, and they change every time.

I sometimes suspect that they are written by  estate agents trying to get a rise in house prices!

You're right, it should have been much higher!

Best thing about Camberwell is the carrot.  Wonder how many people get that reference 😊

Six months ago it was Peckham. Twelve months ago Brixton was where the cool people lived. Next month it'll probably be New Cross or Deptford. Cool Catford is a cert once Deptford is no longer cool.

 

I jest.

[Sorry that was not in the spirit of the thread.]

I'm pleased for East Dulwich and agree it's great. Largely because of the amazing amenities and the genuinely decent community here.

They can handle the kaftan, they can’t handle the bell.
