Up north :ninja:
Things move quickly in London,it's a fast life,plenty of rude people,war zone on the tube during rush hour time,great parks,lots to do/places to visit
I spent 3 years at a London university, albeit in private accommodation.

It's an awesome place to live in terms of being able to meet new people and have a good time. At first, though, it felt like this huge place where it's easy to get lost. The people are slightly different (to how they are here in the north) but (in my experience) mostly nice :biggrin:

That it's a sh*t place to live. Source: Lived here for 7 years.
Oyster card - get one.

Avoid certain areas when it gets dark (same with anywhere really)

Boris bikes are your friend :smile: (or your own bicycle)
Lots of young women with old men after about 8pm in the West End. They're all hookers.
