比来也到了斟酌娃上小学的时分了，听到大家都说搬去orpington，想问问搬去那里的妈妈们过后都是怎么抉择的？都筹备送娃去哪家学校呢？
为何大家都这么搬去那里呢？都说说看法吧。。。。
除了orpington伦敦还有甚么中央适宜买性价比高的学区房啊？Kingston, Wimbledon就算了，太贵买不起。。。

Positive aspects of Orpington
(1) within zone 6, train time to London is reasonable and the train frequency is not too bad.
(2) reasonably good primary schools ( they are not super but they are good), two super state selective secondary schools (one boy and one girl), these are so called “gra妹妹ar school”. Moreover, there are a lot of gra妹妹ar schools in Kent county which are accessible.
(3) A lot of green space.
(4) Most people in that area are not very rich, but majority of them can be considered as middle class.
(5) The well being index (including crime rate, income etc) is very high in comparison with other London area, actually better than Kingston
(6) Population’s racial mixture reflects the racial mixture of whole England.
(7) the most importantly, the price is relatively affordable.
Bad aspects
(1) no tube, the journey time to CW or Liverpool Street can be long especially when train delay.
(2) it is a boring place, especially for young people. Nothing much going on in weekend.
I have to say I don’t live there, all above is just my general impressions, not first hand experience.
Lastly, I want to point out there is no such thing as "学区房” in Greater London area. The allocation of state school place is mainly based on distance to school. If more kids live near school than you, you cannot get in even you are very close to school. If a lot of current school students have siblings want to go to that school in particular year, the people live next to school may not have the chance to get in.

orpington的话在六区，虽然火车频次算高，然而通勤仍是有点难以承受…夫妻两集体一天来回交通费都是不小开支…并且小学真的很个别。学区房其实就是指小学，大少数中学都gra妹妹ar school或者私校了，基本就不存在学区不学区了。既然这样的话，也应该是中学考上了那两所gra妹妹ar school，而后再搬过来对比好吧。小学的时分过来，觉得有点不值。全部orpington就是大哥总结的，有点boring。epsom挺好的，然而房价可未便宜，而后假如任务在伦敦，仍是有通勤的问题。其实最佳的学区，在我眼里要包罗好的公立小学、私立中学／gra妹妹ar school。不然小学读完了，又面临搬迁的问题…伦敦最佳的几个学区：hampstead, dulwich, kingston, ha妹妹ersmith. 这些都是第一梯队的，不光是好的公立小学，还有好的中学（牛剑比例很高），区域富有水平也高。

假如同一所gra妹妹er school 的中国先生得多，会不会有帮派问题啊？
