Tooting is definitely suffering from the Balham/Clapham overspill. Loads of City plebs live down there now and again trying to make it Clapham Common Mk2.
I grew up and still live in Brixton but I hate what it has become now, there's fucking guided tours of Brixton Market every Saturday, the Yah, Yah's have "white washed" the place far cry form the days when I grew up. But change is inevitable.
Play football there on Saturday morning, and it's so funny to hear about people who have moved there in the last two years complaining how much the area has changed. Feel like saying, 'Motherfucker, you're the reason it has changed!'

Do you play at Ferndale Road?
Yeah those people are the exact reason why it's changed.

More expensive than the places mentioned!
Yeah we've looked at Wanstead. As Cracka said, 3 bed properties are mainly houses, which go for upwards of 800k
Close by is Bushwood, which is nice, and can get below 800k for a 3 bed terrace. Access to great schools and parks for the dog. Just nothing popping up for us at the moment.
The argument for living in/out of London is completely down to your lifestyle.
No point paying London prices, if all you do is chill in your house.

Yeah on my list, just wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas to make sure I'm not missing anything
Sorry, should have clarified - looking in Greater London.

Looking for 2.5 bed house within ~45mins of London Bridge. £400-450k budget. Any recommendations on decent areas to check out?
No kids so school and anything related not a factor. Lots of friends in South so that is preferable but happy to look around elsewhere if there's good options.

Croydon ?!

Train line wise, for South/South East you would be looking around Horsham/Three Bridges and anything north I think as the furthest you could go. Burgess Hill maybe. Not sure on Kent direction for places though.
North Downs is a great area but likely to be dear; Reigate, Redhill etc.
