    A good option is Borough, 4 stops on the Northern line and very good value IMO. Not a bad mix of people there, plus great for food.

    EDIT:
    Just remembered I am on d000hg's ignore list so this will fall on deaf-eyes

          Don't do it man, life ain't worth it.

              Good luck doog. I will swing by for a cuppa on my way home sometimes if you take the role.
              Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                If I'm found dead in a carpet bag, someone alert admin who to blame.

                    I disagree - I love living in London during the week and going back to the fresh air of the Essex countryside at the weekend

                      Don't agree. Not shortish term anyway to scoop up a big pile of cash so I can take a year off to work on plan B full-time...
