£500k to buy in London. Three kids

[Batteriesallgone]

Where should we go?

Don’t know london at all (went to Natural History Museum once as a child!). Need a three bed. House or flat. Good transport links to central London. Good primary schools.

Is this possible? I know London is crazy prices, and it’s huge, I have no idea where to start looking on rightmove. Love the idea of living as close to central London as possible but don’t know if that’s too idealistic / unaffordable / ridiculous.

Bermondsey is still rough and ready and very built up. What happened with the Greenwich property out of interest? Much nicer area than Dollis Hill or Bermondsey imo.

Haven’t had a chance to look round yet. I suspect a lot of these places will go before we’re in a place to actually make a serious offer. Greenwich is indeed a nice area and we will keep an eye as it may be we can get somewhere nice near the tunnel that has a lot of road noise (as we like road noise so it wouldn’t be a negative for us).

You could try New Malden or Kingston - reasonable commute from there, good schools, you will get a 3 bed for your budget! It's not central London of course but under 30mins to get there.
