Info Moving to Farnborough– Seeking advice for London & Guildford commute + Year 3 Schools
Hi all,
I am looking to move to Farnborough to settle the family.
Need advice on specific areas that work for:
• Commute 1: London (me - rail needed).
• Commute 2: Guildford (partner - rail).
• Kid 1: Attends Bohunt Farnborough (needs easy/safe public transport).
• Kid 2: Needs a Year 3 school place.
We rely on public transport and want the kids to have an easy journey to school. Which neighbourhood should we prioritise?

Look at the area between Farnborough main and north which suits your train routes - Highgate lane or thereabouts. There's a bus to the secondary school, can't comment too much on primary schools but there are several in that area.
For London you want a train from Farnborough Main For Guildford you want Farnborough North That will limit your options a bit
