I work at Canary Wharf and currently endure a 3 hour daily commute out to Berkshire. Whilst i could get another job closer to home it would mean a change of direction to something I would regard as much less interesting, I really enjoy my job so my wife and I are considering selling up and moving into town. I know that most people with young children are heading in the opposite direction.
The budget is £450K tops and my wife and I both love the whole Edwardian/Victorian thing.
I have been considering Shooters Hill for a number of reasons I like living on hills and rthe views you get and the closeness to a Crossrail station that would be 10 mins into the Wharf is a big draw.
I would really appreicate the honest thoughts of other London folk about this area. I have slight reservations about its closeness to Woolwich if im honest, but it seems like once you climb the hill the area changes markedly.
Please no suggestions from smug Primrose Hill types that i should consider Camden etc as I know my budget would not stretch to a garage there!
Thanks
