I have lived in Chandlers Ford for the past 30 years, and yes, I enjoy living here. It only takes 40 minutes to get to the main beaches at Bournemouth, and the New Forest is only 15 minutes away. London can be reached in 1 hr and 10 mins by train and Southampton Airport is only 10 minutes away.
Here is an excellent Streetmap of England. Try and find Chandlers Ford on the streetmap.
As the weather is always the main talking point in England, check out the local weather report for Eastleigh.
Most of my friends live in the area, here are a few of them... click on the links for further info and pictures. Stu 'Brandy' Canty, Phil 'Lemon' Lowton, Colin Beeson, Ian 'Bone'Canty, Dave 'Tom Sellick' Flower, Andy 'Ken' Barlow, Chris 'Harry' Redknapp and Mike 'Neil' Flower. Bone has got his own webpage here.
