I am joining an IB near Liverpool Street as an A1 and I am wondering where the best places to live are? I'd like to live in zone 1, ideally north of the Thames. Where do most junior bankers live? Also, would Angel, Farringdon, Shoreditch etc be nice areas?

If you're in that area office-wise, I would stick to Angel, Old Street, Shoreditch or Bethnal Green.
Had the same issue recently and opted for Whitechapel at the end. Not the most beautiful area but relatively cheap and very close to Liverpool street.
Thanks. Was that close to Aldgate East or a bit further out?
Was close
UBS then. borough.
Wapping. Nice & quiet neighborhood where you can find really cool flats on the river. Bus goes directly to liverpool street.
Thank you. I would say that I don't mind a 20mn commute so I don't necessarily need to be East. Also, which areas would be the best for socialising or would it vary a lot?
All the areas you said in your post really.
Lol, I’m an analyst in LDN but idk where anyone lives. I live an hour and a half away, but it barely matters because of WFH.
Fair point, not sure what the WFH policy is in LDN. Do you mind if I ask which year you are and if you work at a BB/EB? Have you been told you can WFH permanently or indefinitely? Just trying to get a sense of the the working situation will be for 2022.
I work in AM, I didn’t realize you were in IB. My company will be doing wfh for the next few months at least from what I hear then they plan to move to hybrid. I doubt it’ll be like that for you, you should find something within 30-45 minutes maximum, and ideally sub 25. Shoreditch would be a nice shout.
.
Keep in mind the Northern line closure between Kennington and Moorgate from now to mid May..
Thanks for the heads up. I am actually joining in the summer so hopefully I will not be affected by this
Islington or Kings Cross is an easy hope on the Northern or Circle. Ditto Shoreditch (I live here) and Bethnal Green too as good options.
Angel. Straight bus run down to Liverpool in 15 minutes (UBS it is) and Angel is a fantastic neighborhood. Gym, eats, life.
Taking a bus towards central in the morning is a risky move haha
That’s what I was thinking when people were saying taking bus hahaa, it’s got to be a quick underground trip or DLR. Taking bus early in the morning on a workday in the City really wouldn’t be wise.
