Hi dears,

My husband is going to work around London Bridge and we are looking for places to live in London best for my 5-years-old daughter's education.

Even many parameters show that Richmond may be best fit, it is about 1 hour commute for my husband to reach his workplace. So we are also focused on Hampstead and Greenwich as alternatives. Since it is year-in term for schools, as we talked to borough many schools are full for reception classes. I am looking forward to your comments where there are many good schools and great housing, safety, lively and leafy places to live as a family.

Have a nice day..

Do not bother with any postcode that has W in it. It is not easy to get from West London to London Bridge. London Bridge is one of the biggest train/tube/bus interchanges in London but it serves a certain catchment in which there is lots of choice.

If only one of you works in Central London and it happens to be London Bridge, it would be insane logistically to not live somewhere that is a direct train line into London Bridge.
