I recently posted asking for help finding a vacation rental for 7 in London. I want to start by thanking everyone for their suggestions. I believe I have found several potential properties, but i was curious as to the safety of the neighborhoods. We have it narrowed down to 3 properties, all in Fulham. One is near the South Kensington tube station, off of Fulham Rd. The other is right off of Earl's Court Rd. near the Earl's Court tube station. And the final is near the Imperial College of Londong, off of Gloucester Rd. It looks as if all 3 properties are within 1.5 miles of one another, but i'm not sure if this is a large enough distance to affect the neighborhood. Any help would be greatly appreciate, and thanks in advance this time for the suggestions.

Take care,
Daniel

I'm not a Londoner, but as a country bumpkin I'd expect to feel reasonably safe in each of those places.

I would second what WestSussexBird says with very slight reservations about the Earl's Court area at night, but given a choice I would opt for the Gloucester Road one, just because it is a good area for lots of things - the museums, Waitrose and other good food shops and restaurants, Hyde Park, all within a very short walk.

I agree, I'd opt for either of the other 2 above Earl's Court Rd. It's just not as nice of an area.
Gloucester Rd & South Kensington are both lovely though!
