Muslim friendly areas to move to (London, UK)

[wisdom-17]

Been a while since I've posted here.

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in (apologies if it isn't).

I am currently living with my parents in East London (I grew up here). I am looking to move out soon and was looking for advice on which areas I should consider. I am currently looking for a property in Romford, Dagenham, Barking and beyond - I know these areas don't have the best of reputations but they're probably the only areas I can afford at the moment.

I was looking at some houses in Harold Hill. Is anyone familiar with this area? From what I've seen online, it looks like they don't have a full time masjid at the moment.

Alternatively which other areas should I consider looking at? Specifically those that have some sort of a muslim community (however small it maybe).

You may have genuine reasons you have to stay in London, but same advice I give everyone asking these sort of questions, and complaining that london is either too expensive and / or dodgy place to live, why not just move out of London?

I spent a long time considering moving out of London. Looked into Leicester but the lack of jobs and having to take a pay cut puts me off.

I am not saying this is you, but so many people have a hang up on getting a good job with a good salary, they are then unwilling to move elsewhere even if the lower cost of living meant more money overall even with a pay cut.

Add to that... Tooting, Streatham, Norbury...Moving further away from Central London, but Croydon. All these areas have a lot of Muslims and masaajid, halaal food places, butchers.
