You seriously don't care in the slightest if you're north or south of the river, even? Thamesmead or Knightsbridge or Muswell Hill?
Even just setting a max price of £1m knocks 11k of those off. A £500k line splits the rest almost 50/50.1 -

At that point which outskirt to choose as a starting point doesn't make much difference, as long as the area has what I want.
Well, if I could I would choose near my personal beacon of light: Heathrow T5, but so far I haven't found anything good for me.

I do wish you could filter out the auction properties and the ones with tenants in, with an extra category for mobile homes etc. RM could do with a bit of work. Also a more obvious way of reporting an obviously dodgy advert or something. Perhaps I should send this to RM...

Even Zone 1 is a massive pain if you're having to cross London. Especially lines like the central line when you literally can't squeeze on several tubes as they come in so rammed. It can also take forever. Even that can be a long ride. You'd not choose to go from London Bridge to Paddington, or South Ken to Angel every day if you could live anywhere. You'd live somewhere to make that journey easier.2024 wins: *must start comping again!*2

Any property website will offer you the search requirements you need to find suitable properties within a radius of where you want to live, within a price bracket you can afford and with the number of bedrooms you require, along with the regular 'must haves' (e.g. parking, garden etc).
If you can't find what you need from that you are looking for something too specific and need to do more of your own in depth research.0 -

I did one for Scotland not Glasgow central and other bits along the Clyde0 -

They'd want to wait a while to find their feet, and to figure out whether they actually want to do that long-term.
Most people who have spent enough time in London to know they want to stay, and to be able to afford to buy, will have some kind of roots that will set an area. They'll know which bits they like and don't like.
Nobody is so work-obsessed that their office is literally the only thing that matters. And, if they are, then all they want is a bed convenient to it.0
