Top of the pile came the city of Peterborough in Cambridgeshire. Fast trains take just 48 minutes to get from P'boro to London, while the average house price was apparently just £250,492. Not bad, eh? Plus, Peterborough has plenty of its own attractions, from the gothic façade of its cathedral to picturesque pubs and lush parks.
Compared to London, where you can expect to pay much, much more for smaller properties, all those towns look really quite appealing. Though it is, of course, worth bearing in mind the cost of rail tickets. A rail season ticket between London and Peterborough costs a whopping £7,824.
