Where to live if working in London (central)?

I've just been offered a really great job in central London - big problem is I really don't like living in London (lived there before for a year).

I know I could possibly live outside London and commute in. I don't mind the thought of this, I'd far rather live in a town somewhere or countryside. I was just wondering where I should start looking, other than just sticking a pin in a map of England!!

Find out the nearest mainline station to your work, and decide from there. Try to avoid places where you have a long tube commute, because that's what wears you down. Look at straightforward British Rail commutes, and take it from there.

If you're at Liverpool Street, you'll be looking towards Essex. Bishop's Stortford is nice %26amp; so much cheaper than central London. Harlow is awful, Chav-central, but I live there and don't hate it. If you're at Waterloo, there's a lot of options. You may enjoy Wimbledon (I loved it there), Strawberry Hill, etc. Paddington, look West, towards places like Ivor.

Depends on how rich you are! Assuming you are not rich, might I suggest Dartford, Kent. I lived there for many years. It is only just outside London but is an historic Kentish market town with its own identity. It has two advantages. Firstly it is significantly cheaper than almost anywhere else that close to London - yet it has an extremely good train service. Minimum of 8 trains per hour every day to London Bridge, Waterloo and Charing Cross. Others to Cannon Street and Victoria. You can normally get a seat in the rush hour too.

I was always grateful I lived there rather than somewhere else in South East London. Nice countryside not far away also Bluewater shopping centre if you like that sort of thing. The channel tunnel rail link to central London (St Pancras) will open next year and there will be a station at Ebbsfleet, just down the road.
