It would be easier to list the safe areas![]()
London, probably like other capitals around the globe has ghettos, sometimes adjacent to respectable and safe neighbourhoods. For example Dulwich Village is very select but less than a mile down the road is Brixton which is roughly the equivalent of your 'projects'.
Your best bet might be to find a cheapish very short-term let (one month, no lease or references required) in somewhere like Bayeswater and explore from there. Not knowing what you're looking for it's hard to suggest areas.

My main concern is that on the above map, I'm hoping there is train service to central London from all the areas listed on the map? We won't have a car so I want to make sure there is train service available.
Would you happen to have a London area train map website link?
