Right. SIL has a studio flat a stone's throw from clapham common station in London where she lives in the week. Main house is in Devon on the line from Paddington.

Since having DN she's finding it too small (just a room really, v sweet but no room to swing a cat), and too noisy for her being on the 'main drag', traffic noise keeps her up etc.

She likes being very close to the tube and other public transport, likes villagey feel/naice shops, likes proximity to central London and trains from c junction, lots of cabs etc, likes the nightlife and not feeling out of place as a woman on her own if she goes out.

Where should she look for a one-bed around the 220k mark? I suggested Brixton but that's too rough, and Dulwich too boring/not on tube apparently!

She could try Stratford - great transport links and lots of amenities now, but it's got a very different vibe to Clapham!

Imperial the flat I linked to isn't hers, she had hers valued but isn't selling. That flat is almost identical and very close, I was using it to estimate what she might achieve.

Though hers might be worth more as it's close to the station, or less as it's on a v. busy road. Dunno. :)
