It really depends on a number of factors. An hour including a short country walk either side, via a big comfy train with air conditioning, leg room, quiet passengers etc can be manageable. Nice, even. Time to read a book, sit with a laptop, look out of the window, unwind after a day's work, etc. An hour via a cramped, warm, standing-room-only tube train, with multiple changes, and walking along busy roads on either side - hellish. The latter, for me, would be a temporary measure for any amount of money. I wouldn't consider that place a home. It's a pit stop - I'd consider myself on secondment, basically, you're saving to go and live somewhere that isn't a bolthole. |
