MK is a bit of a pooh hole really, nice in the centre and in some areas but quite a few grim areas, just because the buildings are modern, dont be fooled plenty good old british scum there.

Bedford would be a better option if you are working in Luton.

You can go down the A6 if the M1 is shit and up the A6 to Wellyburger

In fact, buy my cottage, then I can move to the Lake District

Oh and I'm 4 miles from Palmers

Im in northampton which is just up the a5

MK is a pretty nice place overall. Prolly cos its so new. And as said above the centre kick-ass for shopping (and laughing at the security guards on their segways!) However, there are some very rough areas in the burbs of MK! Not as bad a wellingborough tho, proper dive! lol

see you mentioned hanslope earlier. that is a lovely little place.

I'm pretty sure this thread will turn into one full of jokes about Milton Keynes, but if you've ever been here you'll know its actually a really nice place to live.

Hi Maria, I'd say getting from MK to jct 10 for Luton will take you 20 mins but it depends where in Luton you'll be working. I live just the other side of the M1 at junction 11 and work in Hitchin. If I follow the sat nav for the most direct route to work (which is through Luton) it takes me 45 minutes to do the 15 mile journey. Avoiding Luton and going through the lanes take me 30 mins.

Just something you may need to consider as I've always found Luton to be pretty bad for traffic.

Congrats Maria, if you need any of the Mk property sections sending to you just ask, I'll get them in the post to your work if you wish, that'll give you a good idea of prices etc.

For the MK people... is the nightclub Flamingos still in existance?? Used to live just outside Bedford and come through for the Under 18 disco nights, they were good fun, MEGA smokey inside but good laugh.

I haven't been to MK for a while, but one of my friends from Bedford hasn't long moved to Cranfield and I'm due a visit... so will probably take a wee tour around MK for old times sake, the pyramid thing (Plaza?), shopping centre and another place or two.


Cheers,
Grant
