Unlike some neighbouring areas on the outskirts of South-East London, Orpington has excellent train links to London, with this being a main driver for its popularity. Whilst it perhaps lacks some of the charm of nearby semi-rural locations, it does offer space, good schools and access to the Kent countryside.

I had not known much about Orpington. Being Zone 4 I was expecting quiet and not a lot else. Although the streets hold a local feel bordering unfriendly, the three parks Priory, Poverest and Goddington give a more community buzz to it. Goddington Park not only is it a beautiful nature setting, landscaped perfectly, with unassuming cafe that is welcoming and reasonably priced it has a pub, The Black Horse. You really could spend all day here. Walking around these areas with your family and friends makes the local vibe on the street seem just a little more friendly.

Grammar schools, greenery and a great range of homes await families, and it’s all just a half-hour commute away.
