It still retains a strong working-class spirit, with plenty of cheap diners and local pubs. Housing in Stepney is a little cheaper than some parts of London, whilst still being reasonably close to the city centre. Rent starts at around £125 per week and can reach as much as £180, often with bills included. Most properties will be in newly built small blocks of flats, but there's also some terraced housing is available. Living in Stepney is convenient for studying at Greenwich University, Queen Mary University, Goldsmiths and London Metropolitan University's local campus.
