Commuter town can be anything up to 50 miles outside London, for a real Leafy Tree Town with good links to london, try Dorking, Reigate, Sevenoaks, East Grinstead, Uckfield, Horsham, Crawley, Haywards Heath, Maidstone, Winchester, Salisbury, Farnbourgh, Oxford, Bicester, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, etc, etc. All lovely places and lots of green lovely parks and spaces some with fantastic trees or tree spaces, woods, copses and even a few forests.

Answer 3

Letchworth

Answer 4

I take it when you say commuter town you mean places like Sevenoaks and Tonbridge in Kent?  Surrey way I would say Redhill and Dorking.  Also there is Guildford and Hemel Hempstead.  It really depends how far you are will to commute... a friend travels from Oxford...  I am biased I commute from Surrey... I love it as there are good train links (thanks to Gatwick Airport) that run through the night to the major stops... lovely walks and also not far to drive down to the coast.
