Where to live - you decide

[Blue&WhiteSea]

I am currently working in Westminster and my girlfriend has just been offerred a job in Slough.

We are trying to decide where to move to.

She would like to be able to drive for less than 45mins and I would prefer not to have to use tubes and can stretch to around an hour traveling time.

Any ideas/recommendations?

Have been looking around Windsor, Staines kind of way.

Brentford:

UPSIDE: Halfway between the two. Relatively inexpensive.
DOWNSIDE: Utter SHITHOLE.

east GRIMstead foots the bill and at least you are in sussex(just) quick punt up the A22 gets you to the M25

Parts of Ealing are nice, look on the outskirts of Brentford, sort of Chiswick or Hanwell.

Whats wrong with the tube ?

Depends what day it is!

Just don't want to have to use one every day if I can avoid it.

I'm sorry, but there is perfectly good public transport to both those places. Why limit yourself ?

I currently commute from Portslade and have a fairly relaxing, stress free journey to Victoria and would like to get something as close to that as possible.

I enjoy my sleeping, reading and generally uncrowded not to mention airconditioned ride to work.

You really shouldn't read when driving, and sleeping is just irresponsible.

I get a seat every morning on the tube and work in the centre of London.

Claham Junction ? - 10 mins to Victoria.

9 actually, I get Victoria line every day from Victoria to Kings Cross - tube has less people now so nearly always get on first one available.

I think thats just the Victoria line which I get every morning. Always get a seat.

I been getting the Northern line recently to help my girlfriend to work and its much worse.

I lived in Datchet for a short while. Very nice, but a bit expensive and right on the approach to Heathrow.

Sexual Ealing is definitely your place. About 30 mins to Westminster on the tube; about 15 to Slough on the train.

I live here and it's great.
