Relocating to London

[wellsie]

DH has been offered a job in London so this will mean moving (not helping my PND!)
Obviously can't afford to live in London, can anyone recommend anywhere nice to live on the commuter belt west of London, needs to be a commute no longer than an hour, access to train station, doctors & vets!!!
As much info as poss would be welcomed, move could be within 6 weeks - how am I going to do this? Feeling very scared.
Thanks

Brixton? Two stops down on the tube and not as expensive as other London places - due to reputation rather than reality. (honest!) Has a brilliant, huge park, a Lido, a very widely renowned vets at Herne Hill, teeming with MN-ers and other child-orientated activities and classes / NCT networks, great cinema (The Ritzy, which has Watch with Mother screenings for Mums with babies), cafes, child-friendly cafes and restaurants, great Recreation Centre with indoor soft play, pools, loads of classes etc, Big supermarket, lively market, tube and overground, and ME!

i agree with blu, and it has me too! very, very handy for vauxhall.

Wellsie - it's on at £347,950

You can get a nice 4 bewd house in Brixton for £340k, and i saw some nice rentals easily within your budget in Herne Hill - which is just as convenient as Brixton, but becoming seriously chichi...and is between Brockwell Park and Dulwich Park. Beware long commuting times and high season ticket costs...
