Good relocating areas near London?

[Mariah]

Any tips where to find a peaceful good area (affordable to rent a 1/2 bedroom flat/house) with max.45 min train journey to London, but where you would be surrounded by beautiful countryside, and it wouldn't be necessary to buy a car to move around.

East Dulwich.

Catford

Calais

Lordship Lane, quiet, leafy and no need for a car as there are already loads there so you can take your pic.

If you can bear a few more mins on the train...47 exactly to Euston, excellent schools with lots of choice, trees a-plenty, cheap as chips rents, houses under ?120k, then move to Rugby.

Oh...and if you'd like to buy my lovely 4 bedroom town house and walk 12mins to the station (no car ever needed), for less lolly than a one bedroom flat in ED, just PM!

The Walworth Road, makes Westfield look like a corner shop.

Sounds great - anything similar but 30 mins into the City by train ? Looking at Epsom but literally need a second mortgage...

Someone was posting a similar question the other day, somebody suggested the areas around Hitchin.

The problem is that anywhere that fits your requirements (close to London, good transport, nice surroundings) is bound to be desirable and therefore expensive.

x2 for Whitstable.

Knebworth - fast train about 20 mins to Finsbury Park where you can get the train for Moorgate from the same platform. Not too expensive as 2 miles from Stevenage, which isn't particularly nice but does have a Waitrose and good cycle paths. Lovely countryside.

Are you serious ?

if you take the name "whitstable", rearrange the letters, take some away , add others , you come up with " overrated stinky estuary shithole where the local men spend their time thinking of ways to break into your beach hut and on fathers day, give them selves a fathers day card"

[Jeremy]

Not sure if Whitstable was a serious suggestion or an in-joke... but the train to/from London takes well over an hour, so doesn't fit the brief.
