Over the moon with offers received for CLSG, NLCS and HBS among others, glad the waiting is over. Time to make a choice ...
Congrats to all those who got their first choice, commiserations to those who did not get what they wanted. Hang in there and best of luck to those who are still waiting ... there will always be movement.
There may never be a perfect choice but no matter which our DC choose, I'm sure they will make it work for them!
A big thank you to all those who have offered invaluable advice and wisdom to us novices!

All being equal I would choose the nearest one and then the one with most land if they were equidistant.

Journey on Northern line (with no change) can be for all three schools. We haven't timed the morning rush but plan to visit all three schools again in any case ...

Definitely a good idea to do a practice run of the morning (and evening) rush, with one or 2 bulky bags and an uncomfortable blazer. Perhaps accompanied on the first one so thatyou can pick up her oyster card when she drops it. We did this. It made an enormous difference. We made the right decision, but there'll be no foreign holidays any more

Congratulations! Well done to you and your dd..
I've sent you a pm - but I think WfG and Mad? quite right to consider the journey! All these schools are going to take up a lot of your dd's time in various ways!

ps is there still a blazer at any of these? City certainly lets you travel in any old coat... which is very wise!
