Best London areas for young professionals

Ranked on evening life and connections - where you can get home late, eat well on a Tuesday, and reach most of the city quickly.

Ranked from Boroughly's London dataset of 278 areas. Prices are postcode-district medians of HM Land Registry recorded sales; safety is a relative rank of police.uk recorded crime; rents and other scores are indicative - see how we source data. Use this to build a shortlist, not to make the final call.

Rank it around your own life instead
