Advice on where to live in SW London/Surrey area please

nasher – Sure. I used to pass your van daily when I lived in Surbiton. Be good to put a face to the vehicle if you get what I mean.

Starting to look like there's quite a lot of STWers in and around this stretch of the Thames

Once again thanks for the advice everyone. Still getting drawn towards the Dorking/Woking/Guildford direction.
Brighton is just too far out of the way otherwise I'd have been there.

Thanks again.
