    Both easy enough then - she can (presumably) walk to Farringdon from Blackfriars.


    That would have been my main concern.


    I have a friend in Luton who gets the coach to commute. Train would obviously be a lot easier though, if not pricier!

    Flitwick is good and you can live in any part and still walk to the station.

    The down train from Bedford to Brighton goes through Farringdon on the way to Blackfriars.

    Source: I get this train regularly.

    Which is just as well, since the station car park gets full up very quickly
