Walthamstow?

[PeachFamily]

It's more of a simple question than an 'AIBU' but not sure where to post this.

Would you move to Walthamstow? We're a young couple, no kids si it's just the two of us. Fortunately my partner doesn't have an office as works from home or travels abroad with his work. I'm currently changing careers and by living in London I'd have loads more work opportunities. We found a house in Walthamstow that's more or less what we are looking for. But ... we don't know London well enough and was wondering what others think of it?

The house is about a 15 minute walk away from Walthamstow Central station. We have been living in a small town, not much to do here... it's been definitely very boring here and I thought Walthamstow have good transport links, easy to get anywhere. Any pros or cons? The house is near Waltham Forest.

A PP raised a good point. I rarely socialise in Walthamstow simply because Central London is so easily accessible. It's 22 minutes to Oxford Circus and 25 minutes to Victoria. On Friday and Saturday you have the night Tube and other nights you can get the over ground late from Liverpool Street.

I sometimes have Sunday lunch in the village or a local pub but rarely go out here. If I come home very late I grab a cab at the station home if I've had a drink or two.
