The Boroughs of London Compete: Join the Conversation!
Hello, fellow Londoners!
I’m excited to share a new project that’s been approved by the moderators, aimed at igniting a friendly rivalry between the boroughs of our vibrant city. I’ve created a website that allows locals to rate their neighborhoods, similar to platforms like TripAdvisor, with the goal of boosting community engagement and pride.
The concept is simple: each area starts with an initial score based on various factors, including air quality, educational performance, and more. From there, your reviews will either enhance or diminish that score, creating a dynamic ranking of London’s neighborhoods.
Currently, the top five rated areas in London are:
- Fulham Palace & Hurlingham Park
- City of London
- Hampstead Town
- Ravenscourt Park
- Gillespie Road
Having moved around quite a bit and explored numerous subreddits to gather insights about different communities, I wanted to build a resource for anyone seeking to learn about their surroundings or a potential new home.

It takes just a couple of minutes, and your input can make a real difference!
Looking forward to seeing how this evolves. Cheers!
Great initiative! Leveraging community insights can really foster local pride and improvement
As a resident of London myself, I truly appreciate how projects like this can bring us closer together and highlight the diverse strengths of each borough. One suggestion I have is to incorporate some specific categories that matter most to residents, such as access to green spaces, safety, or local amenities, to give a more nuanced view of each neighborhood.
Additionally, could this platform include a feature for highlighting community-led initiatives or upcoming events? That way, it not only ranks neighborhoods but also fosters active community engagement and collaboration.
Looking forward to seeing how this develops—it’s a fantastic way to celebrate what makes our city unique while encouraging constructive feedback and local pride!
