> London is an expensive city, you’ll need several million pounds for a decent family home

Just not true. I grew up in a 4 bed house in a zone 4 area where such houses still go for under a million, especially if you're willing to do a bit of work.

It's a perfectly nice area, good schools, parks and trees, 30min train to central, what more could a normal family want?
