I feel like you know what it is from having lived the other side of the flats, so wasn’t a comment on you! just that over last 2 years prices have gotten pretty nutty for an area which whilst nice housing stock and some lovely green bits isn’t super convenient for most people. Might go for a run down Northumberland avenue tomorrow and try and find that place irl

No no I get that and didn't take any offence. I must admit I am scratching my head about others moving here that don't have my cushy lifestyle. It wouldn't be super convenient to go into town 5 days a week from here via public transport. But hey maybe some think aldersbrook v bath or Kent or whatever and think fuck it maybe a bus ride to the tube isn't so bad.

I always felt like that about Vicky Park. Obviously less extreme, but the desirability seemed out of odds with the transport links.
But I guess if you're riding your Brompton to your architects studio in Spitalfields, you don't need a tube*.

I guess it's not for everyone. Some people want to be 5 mins from a tube at all times.
I wfh pretty much all the time and maybe go into work once a week or once every two weeks. I obvs cycle.
My missus goes to work v early (teacher) so can be at Wanstead Station on a bus in about 12 mins in the morning.
I was tempted to sack London off and move to the country but I'd get tired of the racism and whitevan man stuff that inevitably comes with that move. So I see this as a fairly reasonable compromise.
I also anticipate being able to sell up to some chinless rich boy from stokey or Islington in 25 years time for approx 3m the way things are going. Ill buy a ranch style bungalow with concrete lions out in Essex then I guess and cash in my chips.
