Willesden Green was once the biggest hotspot in London
Willesden Green was transformed by the arrival of the Metropolitan Line. Towards the end of the 19th century it was the fastest growing area in the whole of London.

It is these same properties that prove to be so attractive to this day, drawing families. Continue reading

There has been a big shift in this recently though, especially in London. Location is still important but it has been vastly overshadowed by high property prices.

Wapping is a very stable area filled with character and charm
Wapping was one of the very first locations in London to become the focus of intense regeneration.
