Relocation Assistance Needed
Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I’m reaching out for advice as my company will be relocating to Harwell Didcot in a few months, and my wife and I will be moving with them.
Since we are not familiar with the area, we would love your input on the best places to live that are commutable to Harwell. We’re looking for a location that offers social opportunities (activity clubs and community access), a good gym, and is reasonably affordable for a middle-income budget.
Additionally, we practice Taijutsu and would be interested in joining a new club in the area, if there are any available.
Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi there!
Welcome to the area! It’s exciting that you’re moving to Harwell Didcot. Here are some suggestions to help you find a great place to live and settle in:

Oxford: If you’re open to a slightly longer commute, Oxford has a lively cultural scene, lots of clubs, and activities. Housing can be a bit pricier, but there are affordable options in the outskirts.
Wallingford: A picturesque town with a riverside location, it’s a bit further than Didcot but offers a lovely community feel and good local amenities.
Activities & Social Clubs:
Local Community Centers: Check out community centers in Didcot or Abingdon for clubs and activities that interest you. They often have listings for sports and hobbies.
Sports Clubs: Look into local Taijutsu clubs by visiting relevant websites or social media pages. You might find options in both Didcot and Oxford.

Transport:
The area is quite well connected by public transport, especially if you’ll be commuting. Didcot Parkway train station has regular services to London and other major destinations.
