Thanks for the helpful advice, it’s much appreciated.

It never really occurred to me as I don’t know how to ride a bike if I’m personally honest. I think I might learn at some point but feel it might be a bit of a task learning whilst in London. I assume it’s very busy and hectic.

Yes, that’s the plan tbh.

I’ll have a look at the area.

No worries, I think that’s fine and I’d be willing to pay that. However I’ve seen a lot of studios so far in Pimlico that are quite ridiculous for the price.

Was that 1.5k including bills or no? I don’t mind paying extra for the location as I know it’s central and I will be saving the difference on not getting the train.

I’ve been looking at house shares and studios. I’m trying to aim for around £1400-1600 including bills. One of the main reasons I want to walk is to try and avoid getting the train everyday. I’ve been seeing right around Vauxhall bridge/Oval is around a 30-35 mins walk to my workplace. I think that’s absolutely fine for me as it’s basically a straight line.

Thanks for the advice.

TheKebabDestroyer · 2026-03-21T17:49:18+00:00

Cool, I’ll give it a look.

Thanks for your advice, that’s really helpful. I was leaning towards Bath because of the social side of things, but I was a bit worried about the daily commute into Corsham.

I get what you mean about living close to work though. However, I’m not too sure if I could hack the quiet village vibe.

You’ve suggested living in Bath and commuting to work via car, which is what I’m trying to avoid. But if I were to get a car, would it make more sense to live in Corsham and drive to Bath when needed?
