I think I want to move,
Where will I get the bast value for money without it being a dump?
Need to be able to get to London once a week and that doesn't cost the earth. ideally an hour or 1 hour and a half away.
In Essex now. quite like it apart from Traffic choas when the Dartford crossing closes.
Also like the idea of the Seaside.
We're a cheap county (Lincolnshire) and have fast trains up to London King's Cross.
Unfortunately it's cheap for a reason. Several reasons actually!
How long to LKC on the train, p?Originally Posted by pjlincs
Why is it cheap up there? What's the most happening town in Lincolnshire? Thinking of downgrading...
1hr 10mins from Grantham. A lot of ex-Londoners live near Peterborough (Cambridgeshire) which is 50 mins to KX.
There is no 'happening' in Lincolnshire, it is primarily rural and populated by fen folk.
We are close to Grantham which is ok for getting most things but, regardless of tonight's result, we will pop across to Nottingham on Saturday (<1hr drive). Leicester and Lincoln also within an hour. As is Peterborough but I only go there for the dentist as I'm too scared to change the practice I've been going to for almost 50 years. Am on only my third actual dentist as an adult, he's young with local ties so should hopefully see me out.
For our rare trips to the Emirates we drive to C*ckfosters and get the tube.
Apart from Stamford most of Lincolnshire would be a downgrade. Seaside-wise the north Norfolk coast is easily accessible.
Stop by when you're passing on the A1

Not as bad as Kings Lynn. But still ****
Hmmm - I'm looking for a nice place with good shops and restaurants, friendly people, not too far from London and that is a lot cheaper than Surrey.
If you love Essex and the seaside go check out Jaywick or Clacton on Sea you'll LOVE it.
Holland on Sea. A mile up the coast from Clacton. Lovely sandy beach and nobody there because there are no facilities.
Just have to reiterate Jaywick was a joke. It's absolutely horrid. Googled Holland on Sea it sure does look pleasant. It's very close to Clacton tho which is a bit grim.
Imo Kent is where it's at. Broadstairs and Ramsgate both lovely. Spent many years there visiting my ex's family.
I know it was a jokeClacton is grim.
I wouldn't live in Holland on Sea but it is a very pleasant and quiet few hours on the beach. Harwich is quite nice as well, but a bit out of the way.
