London / close to London areas

[Longy]

I imagine you have already struck Sunbury off the list, but my gf has lived there for the last 18 months and it is absolute sod to get to, close to an hour on a train that stops everywhere. Plus it really isn't that nice unless you go to Lower Sunbury near the Thames but that is even a harder public transport trip.

Thanks for all the help guys, so appreciated.

Agreed for a really nice place in Twickenham and will be moving next month.

Will have a moving in party and everybody itt more than welcome to come down.

Imagine he's probably more pleased about having 9000 football clubs < 1hr away.

When were you there Woodsey?

Some good memories from around there, too. I lived in Holland Gardens for a year or so in 2006/7.

His new local football club is just 3 miles away.

When they are away, Fulham, Chelsea & QPR are around 6 or 7 miles distant, then there is Arsenal & the other North London lot, also Palace (he is a big Pards fan) West Ham, Charlton, & Millwall.

Just 9 miles away is Wembley Stadium. 

For a lad who grew up thinking Newcastle were big time, he'll realise he has arrived in football Heaven.

You do realise he is going to be round yours all the time, Tikay.  He'll make out he is just coming round for a brew, but in reality he is going to be picking one of the legedendary poker minds.

Hopefully, you'll love London Pads.  So much to see and do.  So many places to eat and drink.  And you'll find friendly people if you look.  I used to love it, great place to be whilst young.

Thanks everybody for the very nice replies.

The thread is actually for me and my gf isn't polish and we have 3 dogs. I just didn't want much bias in the post from those who may know me. Have sent off a lot of emails tonight and hopefully will come visit this month to look.

If there are any other areas an hour max to London like what vern spoke about also very welcome.

Thanks again very much and look forward if anybody else has any last suggestions.

First beer on me in London!

St albans, Berkamstead and a few other leafy chic places in Hertfordshire.  25-30 mins by train to London.  Worth a look imo

Yea I was thinking herts also

edit: nm saw he's sorted landan

Quite disappointed that I only ever went to Chelsea while I was living there, and Brentford was just around the corner, too.

Over 20 years ago mate, I was at uni there and hung around a couple of years after.

Not surprisingly I go back at least once a year to visit the temple  

Probably my biggest regret is not sticking around and buying a house there, I would have been living up north in a big house mortgage free my the time I was 35 if I did  love the whole Twickenham/Richmond area.

Twickenham is a cracking area, enjoy!
