Hi All
My family is going to move to London in next summer and my husband is going to work in the Chelsea area. He also has to travel extensively and therefore we prefer to stay in an area not far away from the Heathrow airport.
We have two girls at the age of 8 and 12 and will have to start at Year 4 and Year 9 in Sep 2020 respectively. We plan to send our elder girl to a private school as we understand that it would be difficult for her to get into a good state or grammar school given that it's going to be an in-year admission to her. Therefore our focus is more with the younger girl and we prefer to stay in a good catchment area with relatively more good state primary schools.
Based on the above, we believe that it's better for us to live in SW or South of London. We are thinking of the areas including Richmond, Kingston, and Twickenhgam where we believe that they all have good catchment areas and they shouldn't be too difficult for my husband to travel to work and to the airport.
As we are not familiar with the neighborhood areas of London, appreciate if we could have your advice or comments on our choices. Please also let me know if there are any good areas in South or SW London that we should also consider.
Thank you in advance for your kind help!
