Leaving London: ‘We swapped poor air quality and the Blackwall Tunnel for a modular townhouse near Cambridge’

Lawrence Zeegan, 58, and Rebecca Wright, 49, were living happily and comfortably in a modern, stylish, three-bedroom, three-storey townhouse in Greenwich, south-east London with their five-year-old daughter Zoë. Then came the pandemic – and they decided to sell and move out of the capital.

“One of the biggest contributing factors was our daughter’s health,” explains Lawrence. “Air quality in Greenwich isn’t fantastic, and we were very aware that our property wasn’t a million miles away from all the traffic from the Blackwall Tunnel.”
