Hi Ed,
I would say it depends on your family circumstances and how you
would want to commute. There are coaches to Oxford from central London and from
west London – and the A40 goes directly to Oxford. GOSH is in central London
(Russell Sq station), an expensive area to live, Kings is in Denmark Hill and
the Royal London in Aldgate, which is the ‘wrong’ side of London for
oxford. If you have no family it might be worth living in Oxford for the first
two years and then moving to London. If you are worried about schools etc. this
may not be the best plan. I guess it also depends whether you want to live in
the country or the city!
Sorry if this isn’t very helpful,
Best wishes,
Clare.

Subject: [paediatricsurgerytrainees] London Rotation
Hi
I am starting an ST3 rotation in London deanery in August. My first job
is in Oxford for 2 years and then rotating through Kings, Royal & GOS.
Can anyone who is or has done a similar rotation give me any advice
about where to live. Is there anywhere that makes all these places
commutable or is it better to live in Oxford for 2 years then move to
London ?
I am new in the area so need some advice soon so i can start looking at
houses etc asap. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ed Hannon
