Get the CHESSINGTONmug. A genuinely nice town near the border between London and Surrey. It has pretty much all the ingredients - beautiful architecture including lovely old churches; a major high street with most of the top names (eg Waterstones Books); a really good selection of restaurants (including the fab Brasserie Vacherin); a cinema and excellent theatre (the Secombe), and plenty of green space to relax in.

Get the Suttonmug. Cheam is a smart area of outer London on the boundary with Surrey. It is in the much admired and very leafy London Borough of Sutton.

Get the Cheammug. Up and coming town in "Essex in London". Ideally located for City workers, it's a much better place to be than the grimy inner city.
Ilford is a seriously cool, multicultural area.
Ilford is part of London, but is also quite self-contained, having for instance its own great little theatre.
