Product Description

Product Description
Previous editions of The Guide to Commuterland have established it as the indispensable 'one-stop-shop' for anyone looking for a home within commuting range of London. Now it has been fully revised and updated to take account of current house prices, new developments and changes within commuterland communities. The structure of the book remains as before, following each of the railway lines that radiate out from London's termini, station by station, together with their branches and spurs, starting with the Liverpool Street to Southend line and working round the capital's radius to finish with the line from Victoria to Herne Bay and Canterbury. In total, over 1200 towns and villages in Southern England are described, from Frinton and Ipswich in the east to Bristol and Bath in the west.In each case there is a summary of the types of property to be found and a representative range of prices is given, together with a succinct summary of the pros and cons of each community in terms of local facilities and amenities and social make-up. In short, this book is a godsend for house hunters who can quickly narrow down their search to focus on the areas that are most likely to meet their needs without ever leaving the comfort of an armchair. This title is published to tie in with a major, week-long promotion in the Sunday and Daily Telegraph. It features: house prices in every category, from period cottages to modern estates; commuting data - journey times, ticket prices, train frequencies; information on schools, shops, civic and natural amenities, local societies and activities; and, thumbnail portraits of each community that will help readers decide if they are likely to 'fit in'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and good overview., 19 Jun 2009
By J. Russell "Jen" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We're moving out of central London - looking for the village life and lifestyle.
Having now fully read/reviewed the book I'll be selling it on. On that basis I'd have happily paid for internet access to such information instead - maybe that is a way forward for such authors to capitalise on all their research and hard work.
All in all its been useful, it helped us pick our new home location and now it's down to house hunting!

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting the work/life balance right, 5 Jul 2009
Bought this guide for my son, who works in London and at present lives in rented accommodation in Clapham, so have only really glanced at it, but it seemed to contain a lot of useful, completely up to date information about where to live outside London and how much of the day your journey into and out of the city will consume. Would recommend it for anyone comtemplating buying, whilst still working in town.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Very Pretty, 26 Jun 2009
By S. Goddard - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I guess theres a lot of detail in here however its not laid out very well. As a newcomer to London I dont understand it. Its structured around railway stations which as a concept is ok but unless you are pretty clued up as the which directions the stations serviceits easy to get confused. I'd have preferref a clearer layout, a handy geography key etc. I gave up after 1 hour and its gathering dust already.
