Location Transport

I have a job in Central London near Temple, where would be the best place to live considering the following?

Looking for a flat or house (whichever is cheaper) with 1/2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and bathroom (very basic is fine as long as it's hygienic... even a studio). Commute by Public Transport only preferably without the use of buses in Central London (i.e. Tube), lively during the day and safe during nights. It can be far but it then needs very good public transport from place. Area needs some small local shops as well (like groceries or Iceland or something along that line) Don't mind interchanges but time is an issue - short and frequent as possible. Rent bracket £1000 per month, £1500 if it's two bedroom + as a friend could come and stay.

2. At that price you could rent a flat right next to Woking Station which has a 26 minute non-stop service to Waterloo. If you are prepared to walk a few hundred metres you can get a place for less than £900
