Moving out of London

Hi all,
would like some advice about options moving out of London. We are a mixed race family I am of Bangladeshi origin (born in London) and my husband is English from West Sussex. Our little one is 1 years old we are looking to relocate out of London but struggling to find where

We would require:

  • Diverse area very important with diverse primary schools (I don’t want somewhere where my kid is the only one of a few mixed race kids in the class
  • good community, young families
  • vibrant
  • green area where we can go for walks
  • my husband needs to get in to Liverpool Street for work (1 hour max journey ideally less)
  • down to earth not too snobby areas
  • 3 bedroom

our Budget is 550,000 stretching to 600 for the right place and need a garden.

We would love to stay in London but I don’t think realistically with our price it’s possible.

we have considered Woking, Guildford, Epsom and maybe Sutton. Can somebody please offer any advice and any thoughts on the areas listed.

Thank you!

@Inkpotlover @Lost773 do you have any thoughts about Taplow or Maidenhead?

No insights sorry! Feel like a complete beginner in this search! Will look at High Wycombe and Chesham though, for some reason hadn't considered much around that way.

I don't know either, sorry!

High Wycombe is okay (I grew up there!). I don't think it's good for the commute though, as the train goes into Marylebone.

@Inkpotlover @Lost773 Thank you both

I grew up between Maidenhead & High Wycombe. Maidenhead is on the Elizabeth Line, so Liverpool St is now a doable commute. It's reasonably ethnically diverse. Schools are good.
