London
London is a fantastic place to live. Possibly the best. Yes it can be expensive and busy, and the weather isn’t always great, but the cultural diversity, opportunities available, history, fantastic architecture alongside beautiful parks, great transport links, shopping, and nightlife really do make London a vibrant city and a great place to live. I would never grow tired of living in London. Things are always changing and there is always something new to do or see.
London is definitely a place for city people, so if you are not to keen on the hustle and bustle of a city I wouldn’t recommend you stay too long as our fast pace is often too much for people that aren’t used to it. Having said that there is something for everyone, so if Piccadilly Circus becomes too much, a short trip on the Tube will get you to one of London’s beautiful and calm parks.
The transport links with towns outside of London are great too. St Albans is around 22 miles north of Central London and is only 20 minutes on the train from King’s Cross. St Albans is a Roman city, with a beautiful Cathedral. There is a street market in the town centre every Wednesday and Saturday and it has the most pubs per square mile in the country. It is highly suburban in character so is a great escape from London.
