Posted here for hopeful traffic (namechanged).
Considering moving to London. With very small budget (300K) only affordable areas are Plumstead, Barking&Dagenham etc on the outskirts.
What are these areas really like to live in? (Will look at areas once decision to move is made).
Move is mostly for work (IT contracting). Lone parent and struggling outside of London with lack of contracts, commute and childcare.
Have 2 young children (infants) schools are a concern. Currently in catchment for outstanding schools (hoping having support at home and both very bright. With schools following the same curriculum won't be such an issue. I may be naive?)
Currently in a 2 bed terrace. Naice area, although dreadful neighbours.
Advice very welcome.
