Are there any mums who live or have (recently) moved to Fetcham/ Bookham / Leatherhead.. who could kindly help me please. .
We are looking to buy a home in one of these areas, moving out from SW London. While it all looks lovely and refreshing after London and houses have generally much more space inside and out, it is so hard to know what everyday life with kids is like. We have a 5yr old and 2yr old and my husband commutes to canary wharf (via Waterloo)
Any insight and advise would be so very amazing and helpful!
Here are a few things that I'm interested in but please anything at all that you wish to say will be helpful and is welcome. :
Is there anything major you miss from London? Anything you wish you had checked or done differently before the move?
How is your hubby /yourself coping with the commute..especially if to Waterloo and beyond? How do you/your husband get to the station if you live some distance away, is cycling there realistic? how is parking at the station?
Things to do with kids... presumably parks/playgrounds, swimming classes and some 'toddler groups' in Leatherhead?
Schools...anything to avoid?? Do waiting lists for primary schools generally move in your opinion..?
GPs and healthcare generally, are you happy with accessibility and care?
Thank you SO much in advance!!
