Okay MN, help me figure out where to live in London for £750k!

So it's not a bad problem to have... but also an actual problem - which is mad - because £750k doesn't get you much in London anymore. (It still feels like an absolute fortune to me!)

I have posted on a few boards already asking about specific neighbourhoods but... feeling totally lost!

What's a good neighbourhood to live in, with my budget? I want a 3-bed house with a garden. I don't mind a fixer-upper.

But the location is really important. I love a community, love getting involved in it, being part of it, etc.

I live in Stoke Newington now, and adore it for its village-feel, loads of restaurants, cute shops, fab park, all the things to do with little kids.

And I love London, so (after lots of considering) have decided I want to stay here rather than move to Kent or Sussex (the two places I like and contemplated!).

But where to live? I prefer East. Don't mind if it's southeast or northeast. But if you know any gems elsewhere, do tell me.

I work from home, my husband works in Shoreditch, he cycles so would prob be sad to live too far away from work (ie: far-flung southwest).

Any suggestions soooo welcome!

PS easy to get to Shoreditch from Crystal Palace on orange line. Worth looking for houses in CP too - not sure what you'd get for 750 but worth a look

Lots of people seem to be moving from Stoke Newington/Hackney into Leytonstone. £750k will still get you something very nice and Victorian (if that's what you like) and being on the Central Line makes it feel well connected to town.
