Moving to London.

Hey, I'm hopefully moving to London in the summer to study at QMUL (History and Politics) and I am interested in hearing stories of people who have been in a similar situation from me...

I'm from a really small town from up North, so London is the complete opposite in terms of lifestyle and location, so I wondered if people wanted to share the main differences and experiences of what to expect when moving to London, especially in comparison to a tiny rural town.

So, when you moved to London, how did you cope/what struck you the most?

COPE:
spend lots of time walking around until you actually understand the geograhy of the city
Drink less (or be richer, but that one is tough)
Carry a tube map with you
WHAT STRUCK ME
There are no public spaces that provide quiet privacy
Zone 1 is surprisingly navigable on foot
