Back to work next week, and I'm looking at buying a house down that thar London way. I need to commute to canary wharf most days (and my personal commuting limit is about 30-45 mins either way), but I also need good access to the midlands and Northampton by car, for all those LARP events. Stamp duty is terrible about 250k, which is about the limit at which I'll get a good mortage anyhow. So, putting this all together and applying a liberal sprinkling of mapumental internet sorcery suggests the following areas...

1. Woodford
   
2. Walthamstow
   
3. Stratford
   
4. Edmonton

So do any of you know anything about these areas of NE London? Have you ever lived there? Any help appreciated!
