You start like that, but then the constant going into London on the train gets a bit taxing so you either venture out of the house in the local area or just stay at home which ends up making life a bit shit.
Plus, it sounds like eventually, maybe after a few years, you're planning on having a kid. When that happens you definitely need local amenities and local entertainment.
It's not exactly a wasteland, there's plenty of places to eat, parks, loads of people and families, it's just so mediocre.

Yeah being somewhere that has its own nice little high street in walking distance would be ideal, the difficulty is my other half works long hours, usually finishing at 7 or 7.30 so if we moved out to somewhere a bit more suburban like Uxbridge or Epsom then the commute would be too long and she'd be getting home real late every day.

It's still better than going in by cab, which gets a bit taxiing.

This is what I've heard but I don't think I'd be hanging out in the area, I'm not really one to just go to the local pub here. So I'm more concerned about the commute and the house prices. The problem is for our budget there isn't much of London available that wouldn't mean spending £8k a year on a train ticket to get to work.
