Now that the Dagenham bit's been kinda answered, can I turn this question on its head a bit and ask:
If you had to live within an hour's train connection from Liverpool St, and accessible to M25/M1/A1 road links to North and Stansted Airport (i.e. the NE quarter of greater London), where's the 'nicest' places?
A bit of green space would be nice, and doesn't need to be the cheapest place, but the bits of Essex I've been to randomly seem pretty characterless. Are there any gems out there?
The thread is not filling me with confidence that there are any?
FWIW I've lived in and enjoyed Clapham/Brixton area for over 10 years but need a bigger place and job/family suggest the above location change. But I also was born in Hull and spent 2 years in Grantham recently so have a high desolation threshold ;-)
Thanks @b&d @BleakReference and @NurseHolliday you're from these endz no?
