Docklands

The former docklands area, made redundant by changes in shipping that have concentrated on down-river Tilbury, has rightly been seen as an opportunity to revitalise the area. Crucial to whatever was done was the creation of a decent public transport system and the result is the Docklands Light Railway with its speed, comfort and good value.

Fulham

Situated in the west of London, Fulham is often described as a 'poor man's Chelsea', although the property prices suggest the area is anything but poor. In fact, Fulham is now an area filled with wealthy young professionals; a number of smart bars and restaurants have sprung up as a result and there are some good pubs including the White Horse on Parsons Green which has been voted London Pub of the Year on numerous occasions.

Camden

In spite of being seedy, grubby and altogether unattractive, Camden Town still manages to draw heaps of visitors keen to sample its vibrant market and underground music scene. Indeed, the market now draws in 100,000 every weekend and sells virtually anything that can be placed on a market stall.

Chelsea

Splendidly chic boutiques, exquisite antiques shops and hundreds of charming eighteenth and nineteeth century houses make Chelsea one of the most desirable areas in London. King's Road is the main shopping area and provides a wealth of opportunity for the keen shopper.
