Commuter towns/villages in SE England?

Question

I'm looking for a nice town or village in Berks, Bucks or Surrey from where you can get to a London terminal in up to 30 minutes by train. I'm in Maidenhead - 20 to 25 minutes to/from Paddington in rush hours. Any other ideas?

Answer 1

Twickenham, Teddington, Chiswick, New Malden.....there are loads of places to choose from.

Answer 2

We considered moving to Surbiton (which is in Surrey). Its got a fast connection up to London Waterloo which I think is something like 20 minutes. Its a nice town with some ok pubs and restaurants. Its also by the Thames and only a short walk to Kingston which is great for shopping. The housing stock is good - there are lots of period properties, with some new builds around as well. If you fancy the Good Life - go for it! We would have moved there if it hadn't been for my partner taking a job outside of London.

Answer 3

Amersham, Buckinghamshire (Marylebone 38 minutes),

Oxted, Surrey (London Bridge/Victoria 35 minutes), Woldingham, Surrey (London Bridge/Victoria 30 minutes),

Richmond, Surrey (Waterloo 20 minures + Underground District Line to central London and London Overground to North London).
