People from north London are attached to their neighborhoods, so when they do choose to move, perhaps to find more space or better schools, they are unlikely to move very far. The top three areas for north Londoners are Cheshunt, neighboring towns of Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield, and St. Albans. All three offer housing costs at a fraction of London’s and tube rides to London’s main terminals at King’s Cross and Liverpool of less than half an hour. There are downsides to each, such as a lack of nightlife or boring restaurants, but overall each of these options should be considered by Londoners after more room for their growing families.
