[quote=Anonymous]Richmond/Twickenham are very nice. They have many restaurants and supermarkets. They are also close to Hampton Court and Kew Gardens.

If you want quick access to Central London, you can stay on the middle parts of the Northern Line:  Highgate, Tufnell Park, and Archway on one branch and Hampstead or Belsize Park on the other. You do have to pay attention to which branch of the Northern Line you take home in the evening. All are very nice areas. Hampstead Heath and Highgate Cemetery are sights in their own right.

St Albans is very nice with interesting things to do. It's on a direct commuter rail (Thameslink) line to Central London. However, it's a bit of a hike, and that line can go down on short notice.

Putney is also nice. Its close to the Wetlands Center, an old Victorian reservoir that's now a waterfowl sanctuary. It has less of a High Street, but there are still rrstaurants.

Hammersmith in the west and Spitalfields/Brick Lane in East London have plenty of restaurants and transit. They have a much denser urban feel, but if you want artisanal coffee, you're good. Staying in the eastern part of the city has the added benefit of access to Victoria Park and Olympic Park, as well as Call the Midwife fan sites.

Ealing in the western part of London has a very neighborhood feel, and train redundancy, which is important.

Clapham and Wandsworth are nice and Clapham has restaurants. They are very residential, and I think they might be a bit boring to stay in. If your kids are young, though, there are playgrounds.

Most of these places, except St Albans, are in one of the 33 boroughs of London. You can go further out to Surrey, Hertfordshire, Kent etc., but you are looking at some serious train time.[/quote]
