Where in London would you look to buy with a £500k budget?

Depends on your priorities even within 2 beds You can get a decent two bed without garden for that amount in Wimbledon as mentioned, which is a lovely, safe area with access to large open green spaces that has district, northern and a high frequency train service that connects into the Victoria line.

Or you could look at somewhere in the rough area of crystal palace where you may well be able to get a garden, which less frequent trains into town + an overground. It's surprisingly lively local area as well.

Or go out east and connect with the new crossrail line, probably rougher areas but you'll get plenty for your money and maybe they'll improve over time.
