Hello,
My wife and I are negotiating a move to London. We lived in NYC for 12 years and although both 42 years old, with 2 young girls (Almost 5, and 2) we still enjoy city life. My wife is French, and I've spent some time working here and there in the UK.
My job would be in Iver Heath, and my wife is currently looking for work - but her commute would mostly take her roughly to Oxford Circus.
No car, so using tube, etc. Ideally we'd like a 2-3 bedroom - £1,250 - £1,500 per month, with an very good state primary school as for us that's the most important element.
So, where to live? Help?
We were thinking Ealing, Acton, Chiswick? Seems like it's not too bad a commute for me (Piccadilly, central line) and I'd like my wife's commute to be quicker than mine...
Of course we'd like someplace with a nice high street etc... but beggers can't be choosers - so we'd love someplace that's not too, too suburban, but we do have two girls - so school, area is important to us - although unfortunately for our budget not sure what we can get.
Really appreciate any input!
Thanks so much. Looking forward to the adventure.
