Question: In the greater London area, in which areas are the majority of SAP customers located? I'm looking to move (permanently) to London from Australia and would like to get an idea of where to settle - so I can do some prep work on investigating schools, homes for sale, etc.. Job location and distance/time to work is one of the determinants for me in my search. If there are any predominant areas where there are a number of large SAP clients and prospective customers - especially those with SD and CRM and those with ongoing development - I'd like to know. Cheers.

Answer: Disclaimer: I've never worked with SAP, so may well be wrong. However, I have worked (and still do) in the center of London, and it strikes me that, of the types of large corporations you're after (banks, companies with large online presences) most will be located in central London (underground zone 1). I've certainly never worked outside of it. You may well have a wider set of areas than you think, though - for example, if you ended up working near Kings Cross, you can get from there to Cambridge (well outside London) in under an hour. If you work near Paddington, you could live out in Slough / Reading with little problem. [Incidentally, of those, Reading is by far the better option!]. So I suppose the bottom line is that you'll odds-on be working in central London - but that you'll probably have much more choice than you realise as a result.
