Would you help out a fellow-Lifer? I'd like to know what people think of Meopham, the village in Kent. Good? Bad? Indifferent? Too far from London? Perfect, because it's in Kent, the heart of Charlton country?

Give me one sentence on what you think of Meopham, please!

    Its a lovely village. Spent a lot of time there as the ex-in-laws lived there.
    I wouldnt say its too far from London.

    House prices do seem quite high around there though.

    Some very nice pubs in Meopham. The Long Hop (formerly the Cricketers), The George, is there a Green Man there too? If that's in Meopham then it's very nice. Nice people there too. Not too far from Dartford either - Some really nice pubs in Ash and New Ash Green also - The White Swan is especially nice, with Kangaroo, Boar and Crocodile on the menu as well as normal stuff - huge Roast dinner and home made pies there too!

    Bit more than one sentence there sorry!

    Of course, being a Charlton fan you may have to ask Paul Scally's permission before you move to Kent... ;-)

    I live just down the road in Vigo, right on Trossley country park. I love the place. Meopham and the surrounding area is a great place to live. Good pubs, clean air, no traffic congestion. The only downside is commuting to London Tarn! Unless you live within walking ditance to Meopham station you have to drive to the station £4 a day I think it is to park. Oh yes it takes me 30 mins to drive to the Valley, or you could get the Valley express outside the George in Meopham or the Villager in Vigo.

    Love it round there. If I had the money I'd buy some property in the Luddesdown area. Have to say I don't think the property is to over priced when you compare to any of the main towns/cities around.

    Mind you, you have to laugh when some moron architect designs a three bedroom house like this:

    Oh, I like those Huf houses.

    Not in a terrace maybe but in it's own grounds like that, great.

    The 'fast' service from Ramsgate/Dover Priory to London Victoria now stops at Meopham more frequently which will put the house prices up.

    Nice area, not too long a commute to London, close to the A2/M2 and the M20, but not so close that they are on your doorstep and a couple of good pubs around the green.

    I spent weeks looking around there for a property that would suit us. I just couldn't afford the size of home required. But i agree with others on here, a decent place to live.

    Nice place. But beware of the Meopham Residents Association. One of the most far-right groups in Britain. Keep your hedges in order and you should be fine.

    Nice place. Vigo has an excellent, IMO, rugby club too if you're into a bit of egg chasing.

    As for commuting, one of the big coach companies (Clarkes I think) run services from Meopham... Or part of Kings Ferry run from Tollgate...
