@SparkyYeah that was my thinking. It works fine really but it's still a big adjustment though. I'm still not over the change from from being the guy who rolls up to work in jeans on a sweet fixeh to being the guy who lines up on platform 2 at 7:15am with all the other beaten-down looking middle managers in scruffy suits.
Going for a post-work run and then stopping for a pint at Le Reej on the way home is now the frantic scramble to get away for the 5:25 in order to be home for the toddler's bedtime. Not sure how much of that is parenthood and single income life which would still apply if we were still in Forest Hill though.

There's a lot to be said for that. I live just south of Catford and it takes me an hour to get to my office in Angel. So it wouldn't be that much longer living where you live. And it probably costs me a grand or two a year as well.
It's ok if you work stable and reasonably sociable hours I suppose.
