Tower Hill is situated between the City and the East End and has become increasingly popular in recent years. As well as the clear attractiveness of the area, the combination of its thriving cultural scene and array of markets and shops make it the ideal area to live in for professionals that are looking to be close to their City workplace.
Because of its central location and close proximity to the Tower of London, Tower Hill isn't often thought of as a residential area, however, it really is a great spot for the professionals who need accommodation within a short distance to their work in the City of London. With a mix of both old and modern apartments, as well as the occasional victorian house, there is much more of a neighbourhood than one might think.
Tower Hill has a low violent crime rate however there is a slightly high property crime rate.
You have 2 convenient car parks around Tower Hill which are St Magnus House Car Park and Northern & Shell Car Park, the fee is fairly high due to the central location.
With the Thames River and many beautiful landmarks nearby, there are a great deal of fun ways to spend your evenings. You have an array of Bars and Restaurants dotted across the location and if you're not too sure on which to pick, you can take a leisurely stroll down the River to help you make your decision.
Although there are lots of places to eat at and sights to be seen, this is an area more suited to professionals.
Accommodation may not be entirely appropriate for pets, there are some great walks nearby such as Tower Hill Garden, Tower Bridge Piazza and Trinity Square Gardens.
Tower Hill station is the most central, the area has good connections to the rest of London City operating services on the Circle and District line which run directly into the City, then central and west London. The Tower DLR station provides easy access to Canary Wharf and London City Airport is only a short car ride away.
