The first thing everyone asked when we started floating the idea of moving out of London is “where are you going to go?”. When we decided to make the move we didn’t really know, but we agreed on one limitation. It needs to be within a couple hours travel time to London, so that we can still get in for meetings and seeing friends and my family. Then we started talking to our friends Ben and Jen who also live in Hackney but have always said they wouldn’t stay (in London) forever. They couldn’t let us go and leave them behind in the concrete jungle so we started talking about all trying to move out at the same time and to the same area. So we threw down the points on a map which between us we wanted to be able to get to relatively easily and realised we needed to move out of London in a north-westerly direction. Coincidentally, Jen’s friends James and Zara are living in Banbury, which is in that general direction, so we agreed this might be a good place to start looking.
