I did five-odd years of commuting the other way - Reading to the West End - by train and tube. Put years on me mentally and physically. Car is definitely the least worse option, but not by much; the M4 corridor is a special circle of hell during the week. Feel your pain.

Come and try out Bath? < 60 mins into Reading station.

I get this too. I love it outside of London and I love it inside of London but to get here you have to penetrate a rancid penumbra of fucking interminable suburbia. If I never set foot in Chingford again it’ll be too soon. In fact I never have as I drive through it as fast as I can.

I'm aware of what forum I'm on, but every time I drive into London I want to move out of London.
It's an unwelcome but apparent feature of my life that I now need to go to Reading every week - to a business park on the outskirts, by the M4 to be specific, and the car is the least worst option, and it's still fucking dreadful.
