Where can I relocate my London business?

[Greg P]

I am thinking of relocating my small business outside London, UK.

The aim is to cut costs but retain the level of communicability, access to motorways etc.

I'd also like to escape the city and improve the quality of life for my family and me.

Can anyone suggest somewhere that fits the bill?

Come to Gloucestershire, it's got everything...good schools, countryside, decent towns and housing and you can be in London within an hour....try Stroud

Reading, its nice and an easy commute to London, it also has access to most majour roads.... if you are thinking of somewhere smaller then my home town of Newbury is really nice... again easy commute to London and access to major roads... its also the birth place of Vodaphone and Marks and Spencers so busniness have been know to thrive there

I've been thinking the same thing.

I planning to move to Chatham in Kent in August, I want to open a baby shop and i have seen shops advertised for rent 10-12000 per year. I just couldn't do that in London.


My 2 bed flat in London costs me £900 per month. In Chatham i can get a 3 bedroom house for £500. It's madness.

Plus the kids can have a better quality of life as well!
