This is an interesting related concept - you can use the map to highlight whole areas of London where the travel time and house prices balance out (it's the fourth map down on this page)

Times like this I love Manchester.
30mins on a bus, £6.50 per week. bus every 3-6mins. I even run the way home sometimes.
Sorry i can't be any help. Move up here. It's awesome!"I'm not from around here, I have my own customs"
For confirmation: No, I'm not a 40 year old woman, I'm a 26 year old bloke!0 -
There's plenty of them all over London. There's no need to be living in Tottenham if you don't need to :rotfl:wigginsmum
it's amazing what a difference a few miles can make...1 bed flat in clerkenwell EX-COUNCIL for £235k

A longer term bet might be to consider deepest darkest Kent - Ashford down to Folkestone.
There's some seriously nice villages around Ashford and Maidstone....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
