London, England
What should I pack when moving to London?
We asked people living in London to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"I should have brought a years supply of german beer or more, a years supply of german sausages and a years supply of german brown bread. No need for bikes (streets in London too narrow), some wardrobes (a lot of built in wardrobes in houses or appartments here) and house with garden (no time no weather to sit there)," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to London, UK.
"When moving to London, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and lifestyle. Pack warm clothing such as sweaters, coats, and scarves, as well as rain gear like an umbrella and waterproof shoes. Additionally, it is important to bring items that will help you feel at home, such as pictures of family and friends, favorite books, and any other items that will make you feel comfortable. Don't forget to bring any necessary documents such as a passport, visa, and other important paperwork. Finally, make sure to bring any necessary electronics such as a laptop, phone, and chargers," commented one expat who made the move to London, England.
