We have sold our flat in Hackney and are looking for somewhere to live in SE London. After a brief flirtation with the idea of the seaside we've realised we really need to stay in London and are looking in Forest Hill/Brockley/Crystal Palace. Am in terrible dilemmas about best place to be - saw fab house in Forest Hill but just off Stanstead Road which I just found rather uninspiring - too trafficky and kind of the wrong side of Forest Hill (ie not the hilly bit). Seen various places that look lovely in Crystal Palace which also seems like it has more going on than in Forest Hill. We have two DCs who will have to move into Years 1 and 3 so we do have to think about schools, too. We would like to live somewhere nice and friendly, green spaces, good transport links, decent schools - nice cafes and restaurants would be a great bonus ... Not too much to ask, then! We do have a budget of up to 600K so can afford a decent house. Any advice would be most welcome before my brain totally fries!
