Where to live in East London / Essex?

Question

I want to live somewhere safe that is in easy reach of Queen's Hospital, Romford, and that has good links into London. Any ideas? Cheers!

Answer 1

I found Selsdon area a nice place to live.  Just a short bus trip into Croydon ( buses running about every 10 minutes, all hours of the night) and then the train only took 18 minutes into Victoria Station.  Close enough to be "in London" but also far enough out not to be "in."

Answer 2

If you want to live near a London Undeground station which is nearest to Queen's Hospital, Romford I would live in Rush Green which is near Elm Park Station on the District Line Zone 6. Or if you have a car and want to travel to inner London by car or before getting tranport in inner London while prking you car Id live in Romford which is where the hospital is or  Mawneys which is closer to the A12 both Romford & Mawneys are close to the A12 but Maweys is closer and Romford is closer to the hospital. The A12 takes you quickly into Inner London if there is no traffic of course. Also Romford has a train station to but not London Underground but national rail which can take you to Stratford.

Id live in Romford centre right next to the hospital near the A12 and has transport links via national rail
