Weightings: - security 0.5 - schools 0.3 - distance from Facebook 0.2 Where do the engineers with families working at these companies generally live?
Hampstead, Islington, Richmond
The only way you could raise a family in Hampstead on an E4 salary is to buy a tent and sleep on the heath. I doubt that’s what OP had in mind.
Hahaha this is gold. I totally agree 😂
Distance shouldn't matter given London's excellent tube service. I would live in Surrey, Snaresbrook, South Woodford, Wanstead, Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill, Loughton.
I live in South Woodford and can confirm it's a decent commute. Though if you're thinking long term, might want to consider somewhere on the Crossrail line - once it opens up to go through central your commute is gonna be the envy of everyone. Plus house prices will shoot up so if you're buying, not a bad investment.
Where’s Facebook based? TC?
