Two commutes - suggestions for where to live ?
 

How to resolve this ??

My girlfriend and I currently live in Woking.

She works in Bracknell (30 minute drive). If I were to get a job in
Chelmsford - where is a good place to live for a reasonable commute for
both of us ?

(the middle is about central London - bit pricey).

Thanks.

How about a job closer to Woking or she moves with you to Chelmsford?

I don't think that is a matter for uk.transport.london.

Watford or Dorking? Nightmare drive for her, though. And not much
better for you.

Frankly, I think that either one of you, perhaps both, will have a
nightmare commute around the M25.

Crossrail will make a difference: it'll mean that anywhere that'll
get you to Paddington or Liverpool St. will make the "long" commute
much easier by train. The "Long" commute will still be over an
hour, though.

Woking?

East London/Docklands area? Somewhere on the Jubilee Line and DLR.

Canary Wharf/Isle of Dogs or nearby isn't as expensive as you might
think.
Really depends on the sort of property you want to live in and your
budget.

Chelmsford can be got to from Limehouse and Jubilee line to Waterloo is
12 minutes.
With a fast train to woking. You could be there in less than an hour.

Do you still expect to be together or in the same jobs in 2020?

Personally I'd live on the coast and be a "kept" man:)

Gets my vote.

Actually, as the wife points out, at the moment that is exactly what I'm
doing, if you count Southampton as on the coast.
