In a city as expansive and varied as London, it's a delightful surprise to find enclaves that offer the charm of village life while still keeping you well-connected to the city's pulse. Premier Corporate Relocation understands the nuances of such a move, especially for expats arriving to work for multinational companies. We are here to ensure that your transition is not just about finding a new home but discovering the right community for your life in London.
The Attraction of Village Neighbourhoods in London
London's village-like neighbourhoods are a well-kept secret, tucked away from the hustle and bustle, yet within easy reach of the city centre. These areas offer a serene backdrop for those who appreciate a slower pace of life after a bustling workday at a global firm. Premier Corporate Relocation specialises in matching expatriates with communities where local charm enhances an international lifestyle.
Perfect for family life with open spaces, great state and independent schools and parks, London’s villages mean that moving to London can be a city experience with a community feel.
Desirable village living in London:
Parsons Green
Often referred to as a hidden gem, Parsons Green exudes a warm, familial atmosphere with the added benefit of being a stone's throw from the city's financial and business hubs. It's perfect for those who wish for their London experience to be underlined by community spirit and green spaces.
Paddington
Recognised for more than its railway station, Paddington is now celebrated for its renovated canal-side walkways and 'Little Venice', which provide a picturesque setting for professionals to unwind. Premier Corporate Relocation can help you find a tranquil space in this cosmopolitan locale.
