Wimbledon has often been a popular choice when looking to relocate, namely for its excellent travel connections mixed with village-style living. From the famous annual tennis tournament to a vast selection of open space, Wimbledon has a lot to offer, especially for those looking to escape from the city’s busy environment.
What Makes Village Life So Appealing?
Living a village lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular, particularly with families, for its child-friendly atmosphere. The feeling of being part of a community where residents all know each other can appeal to many, predominantly for those with younger children. Often within villages there can be a considerable amount of open space, consequently creating a calmer and quieter atmosphere to escape to.
Many find living in a village has a multitude of benefits as it offers an array of things to do whether it be with children, friends or on your own. Having easy access to various open spaces will provide the perfect backdrop for an afternoon stroll or the ideal place for a picnic with family and friends. Being surrounded by such a large amount of greenery creates a calming environment that is relaxed as opposed to the busy nature of cities, which can induce a stressful lifestyle. Other benefits of being surrounded by lots of open space is that many often find the environment to be cleaner - less pollution can result from fewer cars on the road.
