    Although I am not sure you are serious about this, since luxury and kebab dont go together.

      Obviously not met some of my mates then.

      Traffic in Putney just doesn't move due to the number of traffic lights.

      There is also Mortlake but I doubt he can afford that.

      BTW They actually keep the poor in Roehampton so you are safe.

          Prawn enterprises is planning a new luxury kebab shop in London and therefore will be need to commute to the Victoria/Waterloo area on occasions.

          I don't like the London/City feel, I like the open leafy Surrey feel, but don't know much about the areas with a good rail link to central London.

          If anyones got some experience of living in any of the areas below, or you know they are nice, or really rough and dodgy let me know. These are have a short train journey, frequent trains and large detached houses with big gardens for sale.

          Weybridge
          Walton-on-Thames
          Esher
          Hersham
          Kingston-Upon-Thames
          Richmond
          Oxshott
          Stoke D'abermon
          East Molseley
          West Molseley

          etc

          Not interested in rough, run down areas like Wandworth due to the grime and crime element and the lack of decent housing.

          What's the most upmarket, green, safe areas I've listed above?

          Cheers,

          TIA

          Esher - nice, green has some lovely pubs and restaurants and good links to the city, relatively affordable
          Oxshott - as above but real estate will set you back somewhat
          Cobham and Stoke D'arbernon - as for Oxshott

            Does it come with a sofa (yet)?

                Have I got this right - you've got a new contract and your supposed to be buying a £1m pad to be, at best, half an hour away, for the 3 months?

                  Yes, that's his current fantasy. Tomorrow, who knows?

                    No to most of those.

                    Yes to Richmond if you're prepared to sell your granny.
                    Perhaps Epsom, or Virginia Water? Although still astronomical.

                    I'm in Twickenham - so stay well clear, we don't want your sort around here.
