Discover the best neighbourhoods: June issue out now

Where are the best places to live in now? For our June issue, the Time Out KL team scoured the Klang Valley and rounded up the top six neighbourhoods to live, play and hang out at today: Sentul, Sri Petaling, Kota Damansara, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, PJ’s Section 17 and Bandar Puteri Puchong. Find out the best things to do in each of these neighbourhoods as well as get the lowdown on their liveability, pitfalls and charms.

Of course, when talking about neighbourhoods, it’s hard to avoid this one topic: the gentrification of KL. Whether or not you notice, it happens all over KL – every time a kopitiam gives way to an OldTown White Coffee, or a shiny new mall opens up in a neighbourhood, you’re seeing gentrification at work. Does gentrification strip KL neighbourhoods of their identity? Read on and decide for yourself in our two page feature.

After you've loaded up on some neighbourhood knowledge, flip through to The Time Out interview with ‘Mad Men’ heart-throb Jon Hamm, then read about the other side of Changkat Bukit Bintang which doesn’t include just boozing and dancing in Food.

In Shopping & Style we tell you how you can upgrade your look for just RM50, and in Film with June being the month for Father’s Day, our film editor quirkily pits famous daddies against each other to claim the Best Dad title. Do you love to party but would rather spend on drinks than cover charge? We present you ten of the city’s free club nights in Nightlife.
