Once recent development in the UK (and the rest of the EU) is that all houses for sale must show how energy-efficient they are) very soon, which will certainly be one of the aspects we'll be considering.

Space is at a premium in Europe, frequent visitors to Canada from Europe have been known to make comments like they would see Halifax on Monday, Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa on tuesday and wednesday, Calgary on thursday and Vancouver for the weekend. I know from a short trip to France and the Netherlands that it took us 5 hours by train to go from Amsterdam to Paris. In Ontario 5 hour drive will get you from Ottawa to Toronto. It can take 3 days (8 hours) to get out of Ontario driving from Ottawa going west. I don't see cities as safe places. Most people are still convinced that they can pour toxic chemicals down the drain, coupled with a plethora of hormones and industrial solvents etc. So my inclination would be to get out of dodge. But that has it's costs and consequences. Adding a long commute doesn't seem wise. I would definitely want to be able to have a large garden and would choose land over building. How long would you have to drive to get out of London and hit country? Cheers

Very much depends what you call 'country' and 'London'!

From where I do most of my work in Canary Wharf over to the east of London, 30 miles or less could get you into relatively open space. It's certainly a line of investigation for me.
