Hi all, looking for some suggestions on nice places to live. 

My kids go to Newstead Wood School in Orpington so will need access
via rail or bus to Orpington. Changing their school is not an option.

 I must drive to work in Central London so am eager to avoid traffic
blackspots.

So maybe areas around Otford, Downe, Halstead, Knockholt, Eynesford,
Shoreham etc, etc. Don't know anything about these places.

Any other suggestions?

Are there any 'miracle' villages out there that achieve a combination
of good services and transport links but remain unspoiled?
