What do people like (and dislike) about London?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in London, they replied...
"London is a very international city with many opportunities, however it can be expensive. You can make friends and date, however you need to make an effort. Unfortunately the British are quite insular and Brexit has not helped this and will not help the country economically in future. The National Health Service is overall quite good, however you sometimes need to be assertive to get what you need as they're always trying to save money. The cost of housing can be quite high, but that doesn't mean the quality or cleanliness is good. Renting a nice, clean flat at a reasonable price can be problematic," said a member in London, UK.

"Expats and digital nomads often appreciate the vibrant culture and diverse population of London. They also enjoy the city's excellent public transportation system, which makes it easy to get around. Additionally, London is home to a wide variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, making it a great place to explore and experience new things. On the other hand, expats and digital nomads may find the cost of living in London to be quite high, and the city can be quite crowded and noisy," remarked another expat who made the move to London, England.
