mySociety.org (a not-for-profit organisation based in London) has been working on a series of maps showing how long it takes to commute to places via public transport. Their latest project was commissioned by the Department for Transport and includes an interactive map that allows users to set both the maximum time they’re willing to commute (that's to the DfT in Pimlico), and the median house price they’re willing or able to pay. Go on, take a look just here and scroll down to the heading 'House Prices'.
So, if you've got a £200,000 budget, but you don't want to spend more than an hour getting in to work in the morning, you haven't got much choice aside from Peckham.
What a way to cheer yourself up on a Friday afternoon (nice library, though).
