Hi, Mabel! I'll be moving up to London at about the same time. My hubby already lives there during the week with his job in the Royal Marines Commandos. We are just working to get our flat here ready to be put on the market. Once it is sold we will be moving. I am originally from the US, but have lived in South Devon (known around the UK as the Westcountry) for the past 3 years. London is great, so I am sure you will be fine. If you ever need a friend, I'll be around.
Answer to the question though, at first I didn't feel like I fit in at all, but I attribute that much to the fact that I was 5 months pregnant when I moved over, had many hormones running through me and was completely moody and depressed...  Now, after over 3 years and making a few wonderful and great Brit and fellow expat (both from the US and France) friends, I would say that I most definitely feel like I fit in.
