We are a young couple in our 20s with a 5month old DD and are considering relocating to harpenden or possibly st albans. I was wondering if driving to victoria london is a doable option from harpenden? Reason i'd rather not commute is that we are first time buyers and wont be able to afford anything in the 15-20 mins walk of harpenden station - and i enjoy driving more than commuting on train
The main reason why i think it is doable is because i will not be driving at peak times. For day shifts i will be working 7 am to 7pm thus avoiding the peak time traffic. For night shift work 7pm to 7am I will be driving in the opposite direction to the majority.
On paper i think it should be ok to drive, in practice i am not too sure. I have been told that driving on that A5/Edgware road at any time is a nightmare. Does anyone think this is doable or is it just me being an optimistic fool? Do you know of anyone who drives into central london 3-4 times a week.
Any suggestions/advice/opinions are more than welcome.
