There are always going to be difficulties in working out the best locations for a garden office, but some interesting research from emoov looks at the greenest boroughs in London in terms of domestic gardens with an average house price under £500k.
Using data on the land use of each borough eMoov looked at which spots across the capital offered the most affordable options for home buyers with an emphasis on gardens and outdoor space. Here's the result:

Founder and CEO of eMoov.co.uk, Russell Quirk, said: “Having accessibility to outdoor areas in your community can be equally as important as other amenities such as good schools, transport links and supermarkets. Often these amenities will come at a cost, particularly in central London, which is helping drive the trend of London homebuyers moving further outward to be able to have more space, outdoor living and the important conveniences that make for a better quality of life. It is often those second and third rung buyers who will place a larger importance on a garden or nearby outdoor space, as they invest in a home for a growing family or to support a particular lifestyle."
