I am really looking for advice and would be so grateful for any advice received. I just found out my hubbie is moving to a new job in the UK on 2 Jan/ 2012. We are currently living in Malaysia (I'm Canadian, hubbie Irish) and we have 3 kids - aged 4,6 and 8. I am completely unfamiliar with the school process and indeed where best to live! Hubbies job will be central London based 3-4 days/ week and Guildford for other 1-2 days. He wants to have a less than 40 minute train commute to London and would prefer to walk to a station. I have so many questions I don't know where to begin. Firstly , where is a great family place to live? I want to avoid Wags and posh bakers wives! What about schools for primary education - private or public? And is it even possible to get into a govt private school without an address? I almost don't know where to begin - I guess I need t pick an area first - I have been suggested a few noted above - I think for the kids sake it is better to be further out of London - but am surprised to note that it seems as expensive to live in Guildford as it is in Central London. I would be so grateful for some advice.
