It's London/Surrey border, Morden, south end of the Northern Line tube.
Sweet mother of god, I used to live in Morden. Above a pub, on London Road. Maybe 5 mins walk from the tube station.
I praypraypray that Morden is a nicer part of town now, than it was about 10 years ago

We're about a 15 min walk south of the tube station, quiet suburbia. Perfectly doable for the next few years, especially given the price!
In 3 years, we will be moving on, this is just the first step on the ladder.

If by unit you mean flat/apartment, then yes, we got a unit in a block of new-builds.
This weekend will see:
Blinds going up.
Furniture being built.
Bed/mattress being delivered.
Fridge being delivered.
Then next week sofa being delivered, bedroom furniture being delivered, mirror put up in bathroom and phone line connected.
Woot!

Yeah, I really don't like moving house, entirely too much effort a lot of the time.
(We do have the 'house' thread here ...for those 'you know you're getting old and respectable on TA when' moments)

Ugh
I've probably done about 8 moves since '97.
I don't count backpacking
It gets worse every time, too. You just have more shit to move.
Oddly, I now live in the same suburb that I did when I first moved into a share-house in Brisbane, about 13 years ago. I can't help but think some time could have been saved, somewhere
Edit: How's that mix coming along?

Since moving to the UK, I have moved 11 times in 8 years. This will be move numero 12, and I'll be there for 3 years at least. Only ever having a room in a houseshares means I've never had too much stuff to cart around thankfully.

It's hard being respectable, no ones tried to throw me in jail for at least the last 8 years and I stopped drinking... in public... as much.

Once in the last 10, I had the glorious idea of buying a little house at 21 and filling it with a LOT of crap, at least a 1/4 of which is still unpacked and in the basement storage
