Sumo-
The Harry Styles effect, I imagine
-
I grew up there plus some family are around and a couple of friends.
Ipswich was a consideration but its too bloody flat and if I get a motorbike again its much more fun in the NW and places like Horseshoe Pass.
We're heading back to Chester so its big but not too big, well connected with Wales close by, that last part might be a turn off for some 😅
Easy to get to Manchester & Liverpool too. Probably slightly less rain as we're in the shadow of the welsh hills, certainly when compared to Manchester which is an upside as its always bloody raining there
fizzy.bleach

@Sumo we're moving out of London, going from Zone 2 to to the NW (Cheshire) as 2 kids and both me and partner can work from home. Direct train into Euston is good but long @ 2 hrs but means we can work on the train.
We looked at Oxted (expensive) as well as Liphook.
When it came to the NW we're swapping a 2 bed garden flat in sw9 for a 4 bed house, nursery costs or 2/3rds of London. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to go to still, not like we are going out much atm!
