Location, location, location. Farnham is stupidly well-connected. You can be in London Waterloo in under an hour, but you’re surrounded by Surrey Hills green.
It’s the ultimate commuter escape hatch. You get the countryside and a Pret A Manger. What more do you want?
The schools are great. If you have kids, you’ll hear about “Farnham’s outstanding Ofsted ratings” at every dinner party. You’ll become that parent. Sorry.
The Food Scene: Tiny but Mighty
You won’t starve here. The cafes are obsessive about sourdough and avocados. There’s a bakery that makes croissants so buttery they’re almost illegal.
Pubs? Oh, we’ve got pubs. The Hop Blossom does a Sunday roast that’ll make you weep gravy. Just book two weeks in advance, because everyone else knows the secret.
And yes, there’s a vegan place. It’s called something like “Earthy Spirits” and costs a mortgage payment. But the beetroot latte is Instagram gold.
