When we were looking (briefly) at moving to London, people living there (including on CUK) advised us not to base it on the tube alone; you can get into the centre far faster from further out by train. A friend in Wimbledon reckoned the train was WAY better than the tube.

I would always pick a location in London to live that has at least two public transport routes to/from central. I have the overground, jubilee line, DLR and river to choose from when getting around town from where I live in London (SE16).Comment

To the OP: look for properties that will be on the East London line tube extension.
I was looking at Forest Hill last year for a BTL, in the event I decided on a more established area and one I was familar with. But I liked the cut of its jib.
You won't get a house for your budget though, something like this:
2 bedroom maisonette for sale in Colfe Road, Forest Hill, SE23, SE23Hard Brexit now!
