You could go north towards Bedford. 45 minutes into St Pancras from Bedford, or less if you choose a bit further south such as Flitwick or Luton.

I don't know your budget but this would meet your commuting criteria to the central area. 1970 Series 2A 88"

I'm a Chartered Surveyor working in London, living in Surrey and value residential within the M25 and Central London.

PM me if you want any assistance and i'll gladly help giving you advice on areas etc.

Just a tip - when i moved out of London to Surrey i just looked at train times into Victoria where my office is. If you can avoid the underground please do so.

Cheers. Andy Defender Td5 XS90

Thanks for all the advice so far guys - really helpful Thumbs Up. Do have a bit of time to play with - the company is going to let me split my time between London and Cheltenham, at least initially.

Do kind of like the idea of the weekly commute - when I was a consultant a few years ago, worked like that for a couple of years to various places. Which was fine as long as the train/plane fares went on expense reports Whistle Not sure the budget will stretch to paying for it myself... 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU

Media then? Whistle

Not exactly - it's a tech startup, but the product is aimed at media agencies. They're hoping to get some shared office space in with one of them... 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU

Great schools for free. 17mins to Marylbone. A green and pretty land!

Sounds interesting - any particular towns I should be looking at? The schools thing isn't an issue - no kids Cool 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU

Is it really, really secret but you'll tell a complete stranger you just met on the internet? Rolling with laughter

I'll tell you why our building is obscured on Google street map Very Happy


I've never seen an entire building fuzzed out before! I like the way that the ground floor with masked windows is OK, but not the upper storeys! Plenty of photos of the place online though.

Why was it fuzzed? Advertising banners perhaps?

Thanks for the help and suggestions guys - had a decent look around over the past couple of days and ended up finding a place (and a new flatmate!) in Shepherd's Bush (with underground parking Very Happy) Handy for escaping west, but also easy for the Central Line into work (which is looking like it's going to be Great Titchfield Street) 2013 Defender 110 XS DCPU
