Well, I've been offered a job that means working at a number of different railway related placed in London, and several other places, such as Victoria, N Greenwich etc. and I'm wondering where I should be looking to live, since I have never live there before.
I will have a takehome wage of about £1350/4wks, so I reacon I can afford a combined rent + commute of £800 maximum, oh, and anywhere with a zone number I travel in for free...
I want a minimum of a 1 bed flat, no shares, no bedsits, no shares, no studios, no shares, no boxes, no shares....
The commute I would like to be under 30mins to Euston Road (St P, Euston or KX) and 45mins to Stratford (Main HR Dept is on the Greenwich Peninsular).
I am currently looking in St Albans, Watford Junction (Area), Harrow, Heathrow Area (I don't mind noise, and it shuts at night anyway) and considering Gravesend area (HS1 commute).
Oh, and I get a 75% refund on any season ticket I buy with an interest free season ticket loan.
So, any ideas, opinions, what's wrong with Gravesend that means I can get a 2 bed house for the price of a houseshare in Harrow?
