Re: New Malden, Surrey
Will you have a car? because there are some really leafy areas around the M25/A3 junction area. (Cobham, Ripley etc).

Re: New Malden, Surrey
JMH would know more than me, but I would say that the greener side of New Malden would on the south west side. It seems like to me when we are driving out of New Malden to go back to the A3, but that's only what I've seen from the car.

I think you could get somewhere fairly cheap(er) around NM itself but I remember when we looked at the prices on the web whilst in Oz, NM still seemed quite expensive for the space but I don't know what the neighbouring areas are like pricewise.

OK, then you'll want to be in NM I guess. I run the same car here as I did in Oz ( higher specced version trim wise and 4 yrs newer) but I find everything in regards to running a car here much cheaper than Oz, except fuel of course. Ins, servicing, tyres are all cheaper. Parking fees are higher though.

Definitely no leafy walks within the immediate (walkable) vicinity.
But plenty of opportunities down the A3. There is a lovely common at Oxshott for example, RHS Wisley not too far away. But all are a car/train journey away (15 mins by car)
Triboy- it was our Korean tenant who told us that NM is the biggest Korean community. Maybe it was wishful thinking on his behalf. He rented our place in Worcester Park, being as close to NM as he could get!

I worked at the local council and we were told this too. Although I never looked up the data to check they were telling the truth.

Yep, very much over achievers on the education front, my wife is is looking for the nearest high tower if she gets anything less than a Distinction.
Mind you if it takes as long to explain a joke to them as it does to Mrs TB then the stand up comedy job sector is safe

Oh and I don't like the parking fees one little bit. There is a whole parking industry here.

Ah well, see in Australia I had a small economical hatch back and here I have a bloody big old bomb, so everything is more expensive including road tax, insurance (never driven here before).

Well I spent the best part of a day in NM yesterday, not bad, not great, but OK and only half an hour on the train from London Waterloo.
Interview went well at least I thought so for about an hour afterwards then all the doubts crept in later, why didn't I say this? Why did I say that? You know how it goes.
I would say there are at least 12 Korean businesses in NM I saw, I believe the Korean newspaper is published there too.
So will see how it goes...................
