    Hi Anna Belle, I'm so sorry I didn't reply to your message on Loopy's commute thread. I didn't check back after posting my reply and it's only today I noticed it had bounced to the top that I had another look, so sorry again...Embarrassed

    Re Tunbridge Wells- H and I love it here. It's still got a nice 'town' feel about it, it's got decent shopping, lovely bars and restaurants and some really beautiful houses and architecture if you like that kind of thing!

    Plus points - as above plus good access to London by road or rail. Crime rate reasonably low. Moments away from surrounding beautiful countryside of Kent and/or East Sussex. Just over half an hour drive to the coast for proper fish and chips Stick out tongue and loads of beautiful villages, National Trust buildings etc.

    Negatives- Not a lot really, property can be a bit pricey, some areas of TW should be avoided, the property tends to be a lot cheaper but that's because it's right next to the Industrial estates and/or railway line. There's not a lot of night life, I don't know how old you are but if you are still in to clubbing <old fogey icon> then you'd probably have to travel farther afield for a bit more choice.

    We don't have kids so I can't give you my take on schools. T Wells does have a lot of very well respected private/grammar and state schools though so you shouldn't have a problem finding a good school if that's important to you.

    If your H decides to apply for the job and is succesful, feel free to give me a hollor and I'll see if I can help with any more questions.

    Copper, xx

    Thanks for the wonderful reply Copper! It sounds really lovely. I'm  29 (30 in 4 weeks) and my OH is 37, so we're not big clubbers!

    Not got kids either yet, so not too worried about schools.

     

    It sounds like it's got everything I'll like in a town, I think I'll let my partner know it's ok to apply to a job there (he may have done already)

    I'll let you know if he decides to work there, it's great to get the info on a place. I have never lived anywhere apart from Northampton, so it's a bit of a worry moving to another town, I may not like it. But I think from your description we'd be happy in TW.
