I have got a good job at brent cross shopping centre and need to move nearby but where would you recommend?

I am a young professional and so will be moving into a houseshare hopefully with other young people, mainly i will be busy working but want somewhere with a few shops and a bar/pub and good access to public transport so i can get into central easily in my free time. I am thinking either hendon, brent cross, golders green or cricklewood... anyone got any advice or know the areas well?
