Urban here. Grew up in the burbs (sort of, not a rich/middle class suburban area)
Now i'm in Zone 1, London, near Paddington. The Area is pretty residential so not too noisy and busy, but plenty of restraunts, shops etc close by(In Bayswater and Paddington). Also 25 min walk from Soho
15 min walk to Notting hill, 5 min from Hyde Park. All in all good place to live.
I don't think i could do the burbs again. Nor rural, i suspect it would get boring really quickly.
I guess it depends on the person, in as much as some people here have said that can't understand how people can live in Central London, I can't see how people can live anywhere else
