You might want to consider LOCATION1 or parts of LOCATION2,all up and coming areas and this despite their negative public image ,are relatively quite pleasant and affordable areas to live in and not too far in terms of commuting distance to central London I will live and work in London for few years, but I haven't found a permanent place where live  I'm looking for a small aparment or just a room, the important things I need my own bathroom, a place were cook food and a fridge; better to have a washer too, but, if not, I will wash my clothes on coin washer  does not have to be in London downtown  to bee not too expensive, I need a place in London suburbs  in London buses and underground are very efficient, so, come and go to work will be easy  done anyone have any advice for me
