Living in Stockwell

Overview

What once was seen as one of the poorest areas in London, Stockwell has certainly seen a positive change in recent times. It’s still close to the centre, but offers the lower rent which appeals to the young professionals. There’s still plenty to do in Stockwell, and with it having a strong Portuguese community, you won’t be short of seafood in the area. You’ll also find an array of restaurants, cafes and bars to choose from, and with it being nestled between Brixton and Clapham, nightlife isn’t an issue. But whilst Stockwell's neighbours manage to overlook Stockwell itself, we advise giving a little time and love to this area, and you may find yourself favouring it to Brixton and Clapham.
