I have followed your channel for +4 months by now I'm always in a loop. It's the first time I comment but yeah, I have move 3 times in 3 months! The flat renting here is crazy and to find the right place is a madness. Thanks for sharing always!
You manage to adapt yourself in many parts of London. It's really admiring. :) Once I moved from Harrow to Edgware (which are really closed) and I felt completely panicking. :D
Nice, I really admire the fact, that you still are so into moving and I'm happy for you (now that you have a garden, AWESOME!) I'm currently in London, staying in Camden Town, let's see about the Northern Line, never noticed it was so terrible before. Maybe we'll see each other :) What exactly don't you like about the tube line?
Hi. You should try Crouch End. Its right next to Muswell Hill. I have been living here 8 years and I love it. Its like home to me. Muswell Hill is nice, Im there quite often as well, but I prefer Crouch End. Its also closer to underground (Turnpike Lane, Finsbury Park, Archway - if you want to use your favourite Northern line 😆)
Yeah, very interesting to know about past flats and the neighbourhoods. £400 is great. I pay $466 plus 1/3 of the water usage for my flat. It's a 3 unit house with two in front and one in the rear. I live in one of the front units. I live alone and enjoy it. I live in what's called Mid-City in the middle of everything. I've been in my current flat for 7 years. I was Uptown for my first 3 years in a converted garage. Before that I lived on the East Coast in Baltimore, Maryland. Anyway where I am now is my favourite flat!!!! I do send you muchlove and smiles!!!!❤️ I loved the vlog!!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Well, in Cambridge I've lived in: Shared house with other 5 people, super small bedroom (3 months), crappy cold but big flat (7 months), super creepy house share in nice room with ensuite (1 week!!), house share as a lodger only sharing with the landlady (9 months), and I'm moving to a small studio in 2 weeks. So I've lived in 4 places in a year and a half, and soon it will be 5. I think that your situation isn't that bad... xD
Like a lot of area's round east finchley - muswell hill (as you said), highgate, totteridge and whetsone and archway is quite smart now they've invested lots round the tube station. You must have covered most sides of London now!! :o
never been north west- i would have considered kilburn or like willesden green, but the flat prices are mostly ridiculous! also never lived far west, like acton, ealing - would not really suit my commute at this point. Love North London!
I currently live in Amersham, I used to live in London but I wanted to be out of the high crime rates and pollution but still be within a good commuting distance
You’ve 6 places in 6 years. Not really bad. I have my 8th place in 3 years 9months London stay. While flat hunting, I always prefer North London like you. I don’t know why maybe because I’m Turkish then I want to be close to Turkish community.
So, a garden, a tub, but mostly because you hate the Northern Line on which you commute. Mmmkay, well, at least you have the money and energy to keep moving!
hi! thanks for the lovely video! I was wondering, since you mentioned in your video that you lived in some places that were really cheap- can you give me some advice where and how to find a cheap but not too dodgy room? also i do not want to rent long term, just a few months. is there a website for sublets? your advice is much appreciated!!!
As a foreigner I was curious as to what you were paying for rent, London is expensive and I truly wondered how you managed. Gardening, you sound like you're becoming more and more a real British person. What will the next thing be?
I'd never spend loads on rent tbh. I hate it really :D So I'm always looking for ages to get a good deal. Wouldn't compromise on size as much anymore, but there's no way I am spending most of my income on rent.....
I am moving from New York to London in September for grad school. I love your videos! Wondering if you'd be interested in a meet-up? Obviously no pressure! :)
Upton Park not gonna lie sketchy af as most of rented properties are privately done and sadly charge extortionate rates while crowding people in badly converted properties.
+Andrew Smith yep it was lucky. no agency fees either. would totally stay but rly want a garden and REALLY hate the Northern line with a burning passion 😂
It's the most hated Tube line - but it's essential because it reaches far north and south. Have you done a video about how to avoid being ripped off by landlords who steal your deposit, rent out dangerous accommodation, refuse to do repairs etc.? There are a lot of very bad landlords in London.

Hey lovely! So glad I found your channel!! Your videos about living in the UK are so informative and helpful!
Oh my, a garden! Someone might think you're English or something! :-) Congrats and best of luck in the new flat!
How long until someone comments on my pronunciation of the word "borough"? ....
You say it perfectly
Sounds fine to me.
Jen Dre you said it fine
It's fine - you speak almost like a native Brit. I had to listen to you speak for a few minutes to detect your slight German accent.
Jen Dre I think moor park so you can see geoffs house
LOVE the northern line from Morden towards central. It's amazing haha.
ha, yeah, bet that way is better..

I want to live in Willesden when I grow up

Jen Dre Ealing is so pretty + cross rail will open here soon

What's your opinion on the Phoenix cinema at East Finchley? I regularly visit, it's by far one of my favourite cinemas in Greater London
+joet I haven't been but I know it's got history
Jen Dre yes. Oldest running cinema in the UK
There's a lot of very bad accommodation in Newham - it's grossly overcrowded and there's a very high crime rate.
The only good thing about Newham West ham United
You’ve 6 places in 6 years. Not really bad. I have my 8th place in 3 years 9months London stay.

I lived in Leyton before I moved to my current place and I really didn't like it there. East London in general is not for me.
So, a garden, a tub, but mostly because you hate the Northern Line on which you commute. Mmmkay, well, at least you have the money and energy to keep moving!
Hi Jen. Don't you sign a contract for a fixed period when you move? Do you have to pay a fine if you go before the end of the contract?
+Andrea Picón break clause ;)
Fancy moving to Epping get whole central line train all to yourself? Very quiet and it's in Essex?
Hay Jen. Whay do you hate Northen line? IS there anything specific? Could you share with us?
+George Nicola hot. late. full of idiots.
I've never experienced such a thing. For me, the Central line and Jubilee line are more on this side of things.
hi! thanks for the lovely video!

thank you!
Post some photos of your garden.

Well good hunting, I know flats with gardens are expensive.
I'm staying in Muswell Hill in November ^_^

What do you think about Camberwell?
Hi How Are u? ANY advice about life in london I weel live in london plz ANY advice ? ♡
Thanks, Jen. When is the next German video?
hopefully soon. hard to come up with topics on the other channel if i don't want to repeat videos :D
Is it common in London to move out after like 3 months?
+tschotscho _ not really no
What do you think of Enfield or anywhere up north or north east like Waltham Forest
+Adam Melloul idk too far out for me
I've never been there but it's somewhere I would like to live in the future
Hi Jen! What site do you use to find accomodation?
+Natalia Serafin depends. for flatshares I used spareroom and easyroommate. for flats rightmove and zoopla. I found my first bedsit on Gumtree.
I am moving from New York to London in September for grad school. I love your videos! Wondering if you'd be interested in a meet-up? Obviously no pressure! :)
jennfriedman good luck ! London is great
Thank you, Rina!!
Are those prices per month or per week?
+jenny07la month
Upton Park not gonna lie sketchy af as most of rented properties are privately done and sadly charge extortionate rates while crowding people in badly converted properties.
was arbeitest du jetzt eigentlich :)
immernoch musikindustrie
What's wrong with the London Borough of Barnet and why won't you live there?
+patrice58 it's just sth I said in a video before. nothing wrong with it
Too far out?
Jen Dre Ah ok. I hope you enjoy your new home. 😊
Hey, do you fancy meeting another German? 😁
Under £400 a month in London?
I don't envy you the hassle of driving a removal van through London.
+Hugh Tube who says I have to drive through the whole of london :p luckily don't own that much stuff 😉
It must cost a lot to live in East Finchley.
+Andrew Smith no its v reasonable 😉
You're lucky to have found somewhere reasonably priced.
+Andrew Smith yep it was lucky. no agency fees either. would totally stay but rly want a garden and REALLY hate the Northern line with a burning passion 😂
It's the most hated Tube line - but it's essential because it reaches far north and south.
Have you done a video about how to avoid being ripped off by landlords who steal your deposit, rent out dangerous accommodation, refuse to do repairs etc.? There are a lot of very bad landlords in London.
+Andrew Smith well it's hard to avoid rly.
Very smart not to talk about your current home area. Pretty sad for people to complain about pronouncing a word wrong, when your are right.
earls court to upton park..
huge downgrade
Maybe first
I know this is irrelevant but are you vegan? If so then yasss
Upton Park has turned to shit the last 15/20 years
Are u rich or maybe come from money?
+Jackyblue67 Same lol no
im moving to herne hill in september :) i know it's located in brixton, but i think herne hill only shouldn't be too bad
