5.0 out of 5 stars A highly informative read!, 2 Aug 2006
My husband and I had been looking to move out of London for some time, but were not sure where exactly: we wanted somewhere quieter and greener, but not too cut off from our friends or his work. This book has proved unbelievably useful in our quest to find a house, raising points we had not thought about, and going into superb detail on a wide variety of topics - from schools to types of property. A year on, I can safely say that without this book, we would not have found our lovely village!

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money with several factual errors, 15 Jun 2007
By M. Bell - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
odd layout, very patchy coverage, a complete waste of money.
I spotted several very basic mistakes (there are probably many more) on key things such as train routes, whether a town has a station etc!
Was it edited at all?!

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, 9 Aug 2006
By Charlie (London UK) - See all my reviews
There is so much more that this book could have been. It needs a lot more maps, perhaps train routes, prices of season tickets etc.

As it is I don't think this book will be any help in determining an area to move to, let alone a village.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing - could have been so much better
This looked to be the perfect book to guide us towards likely areas to live outside London, but was very disappointing - disconnected internet quotes and cliches. Read more
