Errr... no. It all depends on your perspective, but for those of us
in the sane world, the lack of tube lines means anything south of the
river is pretty much a no go area in terms of commuting[1]. I can get
to central London quite easily, but that extra 20 minutes plus change
delays on top of the hour or so it takes me to get into town pushes
Croydon and other similar places beyond my commuting tolerance level.

I once worked for a company based in the west end who were considering
relocating to south London, but they gave up on the idea when they
realised they'd lose half of their staff.
