Borr 6,577 Posted November 19, 2024 Report Share Posted November 19, 2024 If it were me I'd be looking out towards Basingstoke or Newbury, rent a room. Easy hour into London. Hope it works out for you. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,535 Posted November 19, 2024 Report Share Posted November 19, 2024 As some of the lads have said theres no point going to Essex or Kent you might as well stay where you are the time it takes to get across London a better bet would be places like Reading,Farnborough even up towards High Wycombe all within an hour of West London i should think.....surprisingly cheap property along the M4/M40 there as well. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would be better off taking a line back up the M1/A1 or M4 towards where you are now mate. Expand How about going to euston by train wilf from say kent as that's what I do I don't actually have to go into acton but in saying that if I do manage to get an extra day mid week with the boys it would be difficult to get them to school in the morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Out the west side of London is your best bet, honestly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 27,919 Posted November 20, 2024 Report Share Posted November 20, 2024 I went to Essex from just outside west London this morning,West is best,London today is a nightmare (having a nice meal in the west end at the moment). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,976 Posted November 21, 2024 Report Share Posted November 21, 2024 Gnasher mentioned high Wycombe...I've spent a good few months over the last year working there...in your case Dodger there's a good few shooting estates around ...and the large Village of Beaconsfield next to high Wycombe is a lovely place ..although I expect it's pricey for property... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's also police and pikeys . Decent swimming pool and supermarket and a few smaller shops and takeaway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
