Hi mate,
The other side:
I live in n12. Nearest tube station is woodside park on the northern line.
15 min walk to the tube, 30 mins on the tube to Warren street, I work in Tottenham Court Road. Leave the house at 8, on bicycle with kid to drop him at nursery, then onto the tube. Always get a seat, Always in work before 9.
Tube is 150 quid a month, which is a bit of a rub. A 2 bed flat here is about 1200 to 1400 a month I think.
Personally, I'm happy as a pig in shit. London rocks, I love it. Working in central london (round Holborn etc) is also fun. Family is good, wife also happy. Kid is not a horrible toerag, schools are good. Got a garage, but thats for bikes (previously for commuting, much cheaper than the tube!) So I rent a lock up for the d.
If you come for interview etc, give me a shout. Also if you like I can put you up for a couple of days? But n12 is perhaps a bit far out for convenience!
Just my 2p worth!
Cheers
Andy
