Experience of living in London

London is so much the hub of Britain and my personal view is everyone in the country should have the experience of living here at some point in their life.
There are endless opportunities for urban leisure, community involvement and more job opportunities in London. The people is a complex mass of different backgrounds. I know friends who have moved from Cheshire, South Africa and Suffolk - plus many of their friends have migrated to the capital too
Who in the counties hasn't lived in the capital before, did at one time and who's trying to get out?

As long as I'm still north of the river
God yes, that's a deal-breaker.
I enjoy a visit to London now and again, but I'm always glad to come home. I couldn't live there.
South of the river is oh so much better (and far less snobby) than the north. I absolutely love were i live, the only downside being that the senior schools are really reallllllly bad and the junior schools are good but very over subscribed and the houses are stupidly expensive - but I am a smug home owner so i shouldnt' complain really - i'd just like a slightly bigger garden - a play room and a study.
aversion to big cities?
.........and you. Thanks for coming to spend and help the London economy anyway
Yeah, an idyllic retirement in a Shropshire cottage.........just down from the farm selling fresh eggs
I'm south of Waterloo station too
I was thinking of just a move to the suburbs, nothing as drastic as the countryside.
Just London so far.
The other 60 million of us in the UK like affordable housing, restaraunts, shops and people who aren't in an eternal rush to get nowhere in particular.
I think they both have good and bad aspects, but you really have to live in both places sometime in order to criticise with a little knowledge...
It´s up to you what you really want to do....because you can feel good or bad in any place...
bye bye
Yeah...........London is hugh- by far bigger than anyway else in the UK
