Kent def no - worked for Gravesham BC for many years and had to travel the borough...no thanks.

Worked for Crawley BC, again lots of travelling around borough....it's OK but very densely populated. Tilgate, Ifield, Southgate are OK. Hazelwick and St Wilfs (Catholic) are very good secondary schools and Oriel is OK.
If you could stretch to Horsham or Horley which are kind of either side of Crawley.

Top choice would be MK.

Ahhh ok - what's maidstone like honestly? (It's ok I don't live there)

Hi all , we’re in a similar situation and would like to know if your responses still stands to date.

Which part of Milton Keynes or Kent is best ? for a growing family.

Would be coming to South east London at least twice a week with a 2year old.
