I am moving to the UK. My work allows me to live almost anywhere there. I need to be able to get to London within a day so not off the Scotish coast.... I am wanting quiet surroundings and a village like atmosphere. Thoughts?

totteridge village near barnet, but bring plenty cash. nice quiet wee place, populated by footballers, actors and city types. good pub.

Tewin, near Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire. Nice pub, village green with a good cricket team, nice houses...
Callander near Stirling is a lovely spot, though failing this i can tell you where not to live, Larne in Co. Antrim Northern Ireland - where the world needs an enema this is where the tube goes in.
Shere is supposed to be the most picturesque village int he UK. Its a great village. So is Ewhurst and Cranleigh. These villages are among the Surrey Hills. So everywhere around is really beautiful. Its only about an hour and ahalf for London yet so amazingly un city like. A lot of people communte to London. Anywhere around here has great community spirit and a lot of the villages are lovely and peaceful. Everywhere is close to Horsham and Guildford too so you have 2 good towns for shopping. The centre of the villages are usually the beautiful cricket greens. These places seem just like what your looking for, the only downside would be that round here is expensive. if u have any more questions then i'll help - im very knowledgeable of the area!
