I work in Paddington. Does this mean we'll get warmer weather there when you start?

I think it's certainly very possible that you'll get more hot air... HTH

I always stay somewhere within easy reach of a terminus Tube station. You're guaranteed to get a seat for the commute in the morning, and accommodation's cheaper further out. Then in the evening head to a pub near ClientCo for dinner and miss the rush hour going back

That is pretty much how I've managed to live here for over 10 years, apart from a stint where I lived in zone 1 and could walk anywhere I wanted to go in 45 minutes or so.

Or get a bike and cycle. Cheaper, at least as fast as public transport and better for you. Also far more interesting that being squashed on a tube with someone smelly armpit next to your face.

I'd rather be squashed on the tube than squashed on the road.

Rent in Slough - it's only 15 minutes to Paddington.
