  • Well the attractive-ness of area offerings is subjective innit .. and there are always parallels you can draw e.g hackney marshes to beckenham place park or even hilly fields park; I do get the 'nice-ness' of area and get your point but is it worth paying 100%+ more? If you ask me no. There is a reason I have been practicing on my flat white skills at home ;)

    @BQ move to Kent, Surrey is 'over' ;)

  • I don't think Surrey was ever not over. :-)

    Kent's a bit of a big ask. I'm having an existential crisis at the idea of living as far out as Turnpike Lane, despite the fact that if my girlfriend and I both sell our flats we could buy a big fucking house there.

  • In all seriousness consider Bromley or even Beckenham; both have flat whites, good LBS, craft beer places etc. Plus HHV isnt that far off.

  • But you do get good Turkish restaurants (and more than one good pub nowadays), and it'll be pretty convenient when they build crossrail 2 (in 2030 something).

  • If you move to Turnpike you will forever be bumping into me and @middleofnowhere this may or may not be a selling point.
