What do I need to know before retiring in London?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to London, they said...
"Do not come unless you have no other choice. The weather is horrible, well except if you come from Scandinavia. If you do come, equip yourself for rainy and cold weather. Work and save up money for traveling, you get amazing deals to explore Europe and the world. Don't let them talk down to you," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to London, UK.
"Before retiring in London, expats should research the cost of living in the city, as it is one of the most expensive cities in the world. They should also familiarise themselves with the UK's taxation system, as this will affect their pension income. Additionally, expats should consider the availability of healthcare services, as well as the quality of public transport in the city. It is also important to research the different neighbourhoods in London, as each area has its own unique character and amenities. Finally, expats should consider the language barrier, as English is the primary language spoken in London," commented one expat who made the move to London, England.
