    Move to Oxford. Fast train to Paddington and, if you pick the right area, not many chavs at all...

      I'm looking for a 'nice' area. I don't know Surrey very well and suspect that, like Kent (where I currently live), the areas with the best historical reputation are now filled with blokes in white vans and Chavs. What I don't want to do is part with a small fortune only to find myself living next to Bob the Builder and his brood of 7 brats.

      I'm looking for somewhere that is 'green' but close enough to London for a reasonable daily train journey. Somewhere very boring and peaceful. I don't care about trendy bars, and I don't care if the neighbours are complete snobs who ignore you.
      If you've got the wedge and are set on Surrey, then definitely Guildford. 35 minutes to Waterloo, great countryside around, nice country pubs and restaurants, relatively few chavs last time I looked.

      Or else the person who recommended the Sussex option has a good idea.
      Hard Brexit now!

        If it wasn't that expensive... better off living in the centre of London if you have to pay that kind of money (in my opinion).
        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

            That's why I'm moving there this summer.

              Thanks guys for the info.

              Gunman, you have a bloody cheek asking me such a question after the trouble Mrs Gunman caused! I'm currently looking for a large bush with a decent view of some bedroom windows in Hull, so I guess you can knock the shed down.

              By the way, I want my Yugoslavian glove puppets back!
