Hill Walking Safety

I'll be in London for 5-6 mos, working near Liverpool St. Please indicate if I had to live within walking distance of work. My favorites are the Blackfriars / St Paul area and Fenchurch / Tower Hill area. The financial district empty for the night that makes it dangerous? Are there restaurants and supermarkets in the region that remain open after the workday? Is this area ideal for visiting attractions in London?

Thank you in advance for any ideas you can offer.

Living near your workplace would be a good idea because it means you do not have to negotiate the system of public transport in London during peak hours. However, be warned that the property located near the city is very expensive. You'll probably have to pay more than £ 900 per month for a studio to live in that kind of place (Earls Court is a 45 minutes drive outside the city, why it's cheaper).

During the week, the city is always busy. Even at night there will be many people around in pubs, bars and restaurants. It may be a bit of a ghost town on weekends, but outside of curious tourists floating around. There is really no big supermarkets in the city. Instead of this there are smaller versions of big names we have in the suburbs. They will provide all the necessities, but probably charge you more than usual. And do not worry, everything remains open until the end - we're not some backwards third world country, you know!

I lived in London during the 1980s/90s. It was blissfully quiet at night and on weekends and extremely secure. There is a large police presence in this area because of fears of terrorism. Some restaurants are open nights, but in any case, you can access to tourist areas like Soho and Covent Garden in a few minutes, most supermarkets are open until 20 hours.

London has changed greatly over the years. I want to live as close as you can work as the tube can be unreliable and very busy. Be prepared to pay much rent. My friend pays £ 600 per month for a room in a house in the area of Earls Court.

In London, you will find that supermarkets are open until very late (at least until 10). There are many 24 hour shops too. Regarding security unfortunately many London isn't safe because of flights in the snatch but just keep on your guard and you should be okay.
