I was quite surprised to find that there are over 1,000 4 bed houses within 10 miles of Westminster for under £325k asking price on Rightmove. Even so, finding somewhere nice is going to be hard. Maybe try Kingsbury/Kenton area? If you come from the South West, you may be surprised how 'ethnic' parts of London are. (BTW, I know I am setting myself up for some unpleasant comments here, but I just want the OP to be aware of something that may for all I know be an issue for him.)

Thanks Mate, good point about ethnic area's. I would not like to live in a overly ethnic area/ghetto and would certainly avoid it. Area's that represents overall society will be just fine.

BTW before anyone says anything, my origins are ethnic

Can anyone remember the url of the site that tells you how far away in travel time places are using the underground ?

I have lived in North-West London for 27 years and would certainly agree that Pinner/North Ruislip/Eastcote /Northwood/Hatch-End are the best areas to live in. They have a great feel, good houses, and great links to shops. However, transaport links vary as Ruislip and Eastcote has more tube stations than Pinner, and there are none in Hatch-End.

I am ethnic too, and I live in an area which is rather ghetto-ised. It's a nice area, and I'm very happy here, but somebody from a different ethnic group might not be happy here. It's also not obvious just by looking around that it's a bit of a ghetto.

Thank you, exactly the kind of suggestions/information I was asking for!
