Would anyone be able to talk to me about working in London but living in Ipswich or Stowmarket?

[bunjies]

I'm going to be starting a job in London but we don't want to live there. We've narrowed our options to either Ipswich or Stowmarket although have lived in neither before.

Does anyone commute from either or those places to London? Whereabouts do you live in relation to the station? What time do you have to get up etc.

What are the decent areas for schools? Our dcs will be yrs 8, 4 & 2 so we'd need primary and secondary.

Would appreciate any comments, good or bad .

forgot to say that I also like the area around anglesea road which is about a 30 minute walk from Ipswich station

Hi all, I need your thoughts on how doable is living in Ipswich and working in London. I currently live and work in east London but recently found a beautiful house in Ipswich. I am hoping to make a offer on the house but need some direction before proceeding. The house I found is 1.8 miles to the Ipswich station and it’s close to the A12. Thank you.

@Pathfinder1 this thread is 12 years old you need to start your own.

Zombie!!!!!!!!

Oh thank you @Dearmariacountmein. That’s a nice compliment.

@Pathfinder1 I assume you’re referring to The Zombie part.

That’s what it’s called when you reopen an old thread and is there to warn others not to bother posting about the original post.

@Pathfinder1 you’ve just added to this thread again. No one will reply to your question at the end of an old thread.

You need to start your own!!!
