If you had £1m to spend on a flat in London which area would you go for?
needs to be 3 double bedrooms, near transport links and modern/low maintenance (no conversions).

family with older teens and it's a second home as DH mainly in London these days.

have considered Acton/wembley/Shepherd's Bush (too expensive really) and someone suggested Canary Wharf?

Where would you start?

thanks

It's for him but also with a longer term view that children may well want to work and live in London post uni so big enough for a base as they establish themselves. And for me to pop up too as I work remotely - so not just a crash pad something we can all fit in!

And investment wise it's not really about making money it's about it the quality of life and enjoying it longer term :) thanks though i appreciate your input.

As central as possible. But watch those service charges - they are a killer.

For long term flexibility and current proximity to Park Royal then I think Ealing Common is definitely worth looking at. This flat is close to 4 stations and close to the Elizabeth line which really helps to shrink distances across London. For nearer to your £1m budget you could probably find something even better in the vicinity.

You’re also not far away from some nice (and expensive) parts of SW London for further exploration.

One thing to consider is the whole axis of London has shifted more eastwards in the last 20 years. Something that might influence your thinking for your kids.
