In light of this, the author has updated the information for all 33 inner and outer London boroughs about school league tables, traffic and transport, council tax bands, crime figures and library-use tables. Since house prices are constantly changing, they are given as a guideline only. All the crucial questions are answered and the information reflects the property market as it is in 2000. What is it really like to live in the different neighbourhoods of London? What sorts of price bands can you expect in the various areas? Are there any good schools nearby for children and how well does the town council perform? What sort of people are attracted to the area? The author walks the reader through London borough by borough and provides detailed information on all the various aspects in life in London such as shops, restaurants, open spaces and medical and leisure facilities. This easy-to-use guide features graded star ratings for amenities, provides a map of the boroughs and offers a list of useful addresses.
