Thinking of moving out of London but still need to work there? In this video, I’m sharing why we chose to settle in Milton Keynes while working in London. From housing affordability to commute realities and family life — here’s everything we considered before making the move!
Some of the affluent neighbourhoods in Milton Keynes are Middleton, Broughton, Wavendongate and Monkston Park.

I love Milton Keynes… I want to ask about Bedford. Could you kindly make a video about Bedford as well. Which is safe and best for families. Bedford or MK?
Great video and info.I was in Milton Keynes some years ago. Nice and quite town, my kind of place. I’d definitely stay there.Took trains to London easily. Many memories, wanna visit again.
Enjoyed my visit there in March this year although I’m back in Kenya. I came to see the Autotech Training Centre. I’ll be back before the year ends. I love the motoro industry and so was attracted there over Clapton in Hackney where I was being hosted
Thank you for this great and insightful video. i seek a 2 bedroom to live in. Can you please give me some nice places in MK to live in? Thank you
@Rudo please do you have ideas on how to get cheaper monthly tickets from MK to London on a 4 days weekly?
