Got a good job

Where in London?

Thanks different how?

Try to get a flat near your job (unless your job is in Canary Wharf or somewhere like that). If that's not possible, try to get a flat near a very straightforward tube ride to your job. Reducing your commute will have a big impact on your quality of day to day life in London.

if you wanna get shouted on, go on bruv

Hillingdon. West London is supposedly one of nicer areas. Still an absolute sh*thole in most places.

I'm going at the start of December when it will probably be freezing

Not decided on an area to live in yet but I can afford something pretty decent

For a start, their accent is different, but that's no biggie. They just "do stuff" differently, in a more urgent/no-nonsense kind of way. Also, I reckon it's a lot more "multi-cultural" than the north.

Rush hour is a nightmare though

What are good places to visit if you're not a tourist? x



It doesn't seem meh how?

I just moved here last year, been here over a year now. A few tips are rooms go really fast when trying to rent places. Try and decide roughly where you want to stay then check out that area. Also follow the tube map to find out the best way for you to commute to work/uni/etc. I wish I had done this when I moved as I worked in SW and I moved in SE which wasn't the best.

I'm now living in Notting Hill which is much much nicer than where I was but I'm a special case as I get accommodation as part of my job. However Hammersmith and Putney area are pretty good and young. It's where I would live if I had to pay.

Let me knowby PM or here if you have any other questions or if you need me to check anything out for you while I'm out and about

What times is rush hour? I'm guessing it's longer than up North

Central London. So zone 1 places. Piccadilly Circus,Hyde park,South Ken Covent gardens,Oxford Circus for retail therapy of course

BASICALLY

oyster card for travel (or contactless whatever)

lidls and aldis for food

Don't go near Stonerbridge, Harlesden, Neasden etc. even Kingsbury is a bit meh

Harrow is ****e too, Edgware is quite good...

i suggest getting an apartment in Edgware Road, everything is a few bus stops away - attractions, oxford street, marble arch, etc. it's a bit loud though but shops are open til late and everything you need is like 2 minutes away.

ummmm - clothes from Marks and Spencers oh and TK MAXX is heaven. Brent Cross is nice for shopping, Oxford Street obviously but that's expensive, wembley central - the outlet is good for food and Superdry but not much else. The H&M there is ****... Westfield is love, Westfield is life

don't ever be alone at night by yourself - if you are have your phone charged, in your hand and always have your keys out way before you get to the door. walk fast. you're going to be bothered by beggars 24/7 in central

don't make eye contact with anybody. School kids will be everywhere and will piss you off. Some of them if you're in a really busy bus straight after school will literally throw things at you.

mind the gap on the trains... central line gets so ****ing hot and stuffed you won't be able to breathe,
as you're going into central on the trains your ears will explode like on airplanes

hmmmm idk if i covered everything but if you have any questions ask awayyy!!

Things get really sticky between 5 and 7pm, but it's a busy place at the best of times

Haha ok What about the mornings btw?
