Why Londoners are ditching the capital to buy in Bristol
Telegraph • 5 December 2019
First-time buyer Jessica Leung nearly bought her first home in Woolwich, south-east London, but she’s glad it fell through. She’s now got a two-bedroom apartment in Bristol’s Brandon Yard development and thinks the city offers all the good bits of London – without the stress.
“I always saw Bristol as a student town and never thought I would want to live there,” says the 28-year-old. “But it’s now an international city.”
Her job as a management consultant is still based in London, as are many of her friends. But as of next week, her train journey back there will be 17 to 21 minutes faster.
