Hi all,
I am coming from overseas to London with my 4-years daughter and wife within 2-3 months and my workplace will be 3 mins walk to London Bridge station.
Our priority is of course my daughter's education and we will send her to a state primary school (seems to attend reception class). Her first language is not English so our concern is how she is going to adopt both English and London. Additionally, my wife will not be working for a while until we ensure everything is ok for daughter and so as a lively-streets lover I would like to know she will be also happy and not get bored while daughter is in the school. I pay attention to this as well since it may depend my wife's quick adaptation.
From my side, I like also lively-streets however would like to feel the nature, river, luxury and good pubs in London and will be happy if the location is not far away from my workplace.
Thanks God, London Bridge is a very central station direct links to Nothern and Jubilee lines and I can also take a short walk from monument bridge to the office (approx 10-15 min) which means I can use District or Circle lines as well.
According to my investigations the candidate places to live are;
- Richmond Upon Thames (42 mins to work)
- Wimbledon (41 mins to work)
- Chiswick (35 mins to work)
- West Hampstead (21 mins to work)
- May be Greenwich (23 mins to work)
Please note, I would like to ensure the resident area is very close to outstanding schools and where decent people live next to us.
Can I ask your thoughts around all above ?
Thanks and cheers..
