Living in London vs. Moving Out of London

We sat down to discuss living in London vs. living in the countryside. We lived in London for 8 years and now live in the countryside, so check out what we had to say.

London and the countryside both have their own advantages and benefits, so which is best for you?

I was interested in the point you made about having a garden. Wherever you live in London you will be close to a park, which in my opinion is far more beneficial than a garden. Even a large garden can be walked around in five minutes or thereabouts, and what do you do then? The problem with the countryside is it is not user friendly in the way that London parks are. For me at my age I like somewhere to sit down, refreshment facilities, toilets, cafe etc.
Also it I nice to see a pond and ducks and birdlife, with children and dogs and families enjoying the space. I like a manicured area with a flower garden and seating, with a contrasting area set aside for dogs to exercise. Farm land is not very comfortable for walking on, and there are often no pavements.

I agree that living in a city has more conveniences than the countryside, however, the driving in traffic, the noise, the size and expense of houses or rent are not terrific. I would live in the countryside if it was close to a city so that I could get certain things that I need that are not available in the country. I am looking forward to seeing what your house looks like now that you have moved in.

I have never been to the UK, but I hope to visit one day. Ya, both the metro and countryside are unique and different in their own ways. What about an update on the house. Love to see Kiera and how much she has grown..

Having travelled around a lot of the U.K., London is pretty inefficient to travel around, especially on the tube. Taxi or personal driver probably the fastest.

I can drive to Manchester, 35 miles, faster than I can get from central London to Heathrow, or East London

Also, the countryside is relatively close to a big town or city, wherever in England. Driving is a necessity, as well as getting a hobbie, going to the gym, running or walking

Also, Birmingham Airport is the closest airport to Shropshire on the South East side of Birmingham, Manchester Airport is in north Cheshire. Luton and Stansted are cheaper, but not that easier to get to. Gatwick is better to fly into on day flight, get the train
