Hi, we are currently living in Holloway, North London. Although I do actually love it here, made a good circle of friends, etc, it is actually not so good for schools and there is no park within walking distance so I am constantly dragging my daughter in the car, on the bus, on the tube to do things. We are now considering moving and one place we are thinking of is Wimbledon.
Our extensive knowledge (!) involves walking around the village, the common, etc. We now know we cannot afford to live within walking distance of the village (need about another million quid!) but can afford to live on the 'outskirts' but no idea where to start. The areas seem to be Southfields, Wimbledon Park (just about afford), Wimbledon (ie around the town centre), Raynes Park, Merton, etc. I have no idea where to head for though, ie I couldn't see a park in walking distance of the town centre, Raynes Park, etc but maybe it's good for schools?? Is there an area which is good for parks and schools? Is one area maybe better for activities (eg Mother/Toddler groups)?? Don't know where to start really so wonder if any of you live there and give me your opinion??
Thanks.
