Hmm Bow and Stratford are improving areas. Although they are in East London (which I personally love but some ppl don't), property prices seem to be picking up, it has wonderful travel links to the city and is quite a respectable area to live in. It has a lot of culture and diversity, history and places to visit. It seems ideal if you ask my opinion. :-D

There are no areas of London that offer value for money. Anywhere that is worth living in is too expensive, anywhere that is affordable will be a shoebox shithole miles away from where you want to work. Unless you have a highly paid job and don't mind paying 30p more for a Mars Bar than the rest of the country does, my advice would be live anywhere other than London.
