Hello - my son and DIL are moving soon from the US to the UK and they hope to live within an hour (max) commute from London (where my son will be working) - preferably north / west of London.
Ideally they want a house with a large garden in a nice area.
I am looking on line and prices are very high.
Does anyone have a suggestion for an area to look at?
Thank you

will run which will run! That'll teach me to chat to DH while I'm typing!

Franbern, thanks, Buckhurst Hill is lovely. I'm moving away next year, though, as my children have settled further out!

I used to live in Cambridgeshire. The A14 and M11 start to get busy about 4.30am! I suspect that other commuter motorways are similar.

Hertford, the county town of Hertfordshire, has a lovely market-town feel and also the benefit of two train stations. One goes into Liverpool Street and the other to Moorgate. About 40 minutes on the Moorgate line.
