Look at the Local Amenities before you Rent a London Flat


How Far – Can I walk?

Everyone knows how important local shops, restaurants, pubs, buses, trains and tube stations are to where you live. The key question when flat hunting is – “how far away are local amenities?” and – “can I walk to them?”.

In order to speed up hunting for a London Flat to rent it’s important to do your research online before you start the time consuming process of booking and attending viewings. Use Google and Google Streetview to look at the property, the street it is in, and how far it is to local amenities.

Fortunately there is a new facility to enable you to automate the process, and I’ve embedded it in this blog, so you can give it a spin.


Here is the amenity report for Pimlico Flats, as you can see we are just about in the top 10% of all locations for walkable amenities. You can put any address into the panel above to compare other locations to us. I am confident that you will find that Pimlico Flats is a better place to rent a Flat than 90% of all other locations in London.

Debden is the only place you can’t rent Pimlico Flats

For a couple of weeks now I have been posting in various places scary and astounding facts, such as that Debden is the only Tube station not to use any of the letters in “Pimlico Flats” in it’s name, or

Do you know the only tube station not to have any of the letters in “Tesco iSold” in it’s name?

I’ve been waiting for someone to ask me how I know these things, but as no one has – I’m going to tell you anyway. For about 3 weeks the internet has been featuring the important information that Pimlico is the only Underground station which does not contain any of the letters in the word ‘badger’, a few people felt such a statement shouldn’t go unverified and with a call like that up stepped Ben Green with his website for testing Tube Stations.

So know we know:

Debden is the only place you can’t rent Pimlico Flats

Pimlico is the only Underground station which does not contain any of the letters in the word ‘badger’

The only tube station not to have any of the letters “Tesco iSold” in it’s name is Bank
