Loads and loads going on, tube/bus can get you everywhere you dont need a car, wages are higher than the rest of the UK

Everyday you wake up and see the colour grey (seriously!!) grey sky/buildings/pavement... it can get depressing, it can be a very lonely city at times, you have to watch your back/wallet/purse/bag most of the time, it's VERY VERY expensive! You will prob only afford to live in a bad area unless you're very rich or very lucky! Bad areas are BAD. Your friends live all over the place and it can be very difficult to get accross London to see them, the noise, the amount of people, the pollution, the tubes (!!).... I could go on for ages!!!
As you see this is biased as I lived in London for two years and moved! I would never go back. BUT I know lots of people who LOVE it! So don't take my word for it, I think everyone should live in London once in their life!

Thank you for sharing your experience in London! Yes I've also heard the living is very expensive in London! However, I would like to try living there for 2 years and make it part of my life experience. I'm not used to staying in one place forever, so I will make use of my resources to move to different places every two years within the recent 6 years. Life is always boring, and when the time you leave one place, then different new things will make you feel something fresh and have something to do. Big house, luxury lifestyle ... these are definitely not my dream, because it's so boring to me... Moving plan makes me work hard for that and appreciated whatever I experienced and whoever I met! Of course, I treat myself well wherever I am, and always eat well to keep healthy, so that I'll really enjoy my life and have energy!
