We're doing this (moving out of London, not the VW parking thing) with a move to Chesham - not exactly a long way out of London but the best compromise for us when the good lady wife has the more important career and wanted to stay. Hopefully being still on the Met line so technically connected but also out in the Chilterns is going to be what we both need, I've not really actively enjoyed being in London for quite a while, but now with Covid and a small child its really made me pine for the great outdoors. Hopefully this move also allows me to get my business up and running as our outgoings are reduced too, not something that would have happened quickly if we stayed. We've not really ended up buying anything much bigger than we would in London, but its got much nicer light, a bigger garden and a double garage, for quite a lot less borrowing. Looking forward to exploring the local bridleways...
