Hi all
I would love some inspiration on lovely places to live in London if you have small children. We plan on staying long term - we may move again but don't want to move far i.e we'd like them to stay in the same school and not leave their friends if possible.
We have 1.25mill.
Would like 4 bed min and garden. Period pref. Love to do some work but not huge start from scratch stuff. Happy to put in extensions etc.
So stuff we need: great primaries, secondaries - great if there are good state, but we will think of private too if the area we find does not have good secondaries. Leafy - parks nearby. Community feel. Safe. A centre - ie not just swathes of houses. A bit of cafe culture and indie shops. Easy commute to the city i.e under the hour, preferably under 45 minutes.
Um think that's it - I do have some ideas, but would love to hear about your recommendations and why you love that area.
