We will be moving to London, don’t know London that well and are lost as to where to start looking! North London preferred – don’t want to be too central, want green areas nearby, and want it to be quiet… School catchments are not an issue. We are initially looking somewhere between the Jubilee line in the west to Islington/north of in the east.
Would prefer to spend around 350’ but could possibly stretch up to 400’. Don’t need a house, a nice spacious flat is ok too, preferably with a communal garden! Prefer good access to tube, 10-15 minutes’ walk ok… (not sure if that is a lot or not…)
Discussed it with a London friend, but any tube station I mentioned, apart from Hampstead basically, they went “no, not nice…”! Surely there must be some ok places that don’t cost an arm and a leg… What about Neasden, Hendon, Willesden, Brent Cross, Dollis Hill, Colindale, Finchley, Wembley (Fryent Country Park looks nice?)..?
Am also wondering if the Clapham Junction area might be nice – good for transport!
Help! Where do we start looking? Grateful for any suggestions, even suggestions in the west, that we don’t know at all!
