As an ex-Londoner of 9 years (!) and a fellow small RUclipsr, I can honestly say that your video is spot on! There's only so much you can say about London in a 20-minite video, but you covered pretty much the basics and you are being very objective! I loved it and I relate. I left this September and moved to Copenhagen in search of a less stressful life and a smaller capital. I needed to experience something else, just to see how life is outside of London. London is a trap haha. Life does not end when you move away from London 😂 but I can very honestly say, that comparing anything to London is a lost game, because London wins every time. London is like New York; one of a kind. But depending on your situation, you can lead a calmer and fulfilling life away from London.
the best video! Moved to London a year ago and this is honestly the most balanced review I've heard of so far.
My husband works in London……he talks to everyone😂😂….. on the street, tube, everywhere……he has no filter. Cracks me up how many people look shocked when he starts a conversation! lol
Ah I'm seeing this at the perfect moment! I used to live in London before the pandemic and I'm moving back in a couple of weeks. When I moved out I thought I'd had enough - and now I'm finding myself being super excited to get back. Your video is spot on !
Loved that video, I lived in London for 3 years and can pretty much agree with everything! The only thing I have to say is that now as I'm not living there anymore it was like getting off drugs. You had everything available to you 24/7 and it's really hard to have a slower live again haha
It's true London it's like a drug
im a fresher who's going to join uni in london in september, and this video has been the most helpful one on knowing a lil bit more about london!!
I'm moving out of London in a few months, I think I could spend longer here but the cost of living in combination with the pressure to say yes to everything is so real. My savings have dwindled and I feel like I haven't got as much out of it as the years go by. I'm now debating moving to Barcelona or another city with a slightly slow pace of life after a stint in my hometown. Would love to know how you find Portugal!
As a person that dreams of moving into a big city I find this video was very interesting and helpful!
i'm so happy to hear this was helpful for you! before i ever move anywhere i always try to find realistic and honest info all over the internet before i move... i didn't do much london research before though, haha!
I live in London and relate to everything ur saying. speed walking everywhere and falling into the unfriendly haze.
it's so draining, I'm so happy to not be there anymore... to be honest. the only elements I miss are the friends I left there, and all the good restaurants and coffee haha!
In my 20s lived in London for 7 years great time, went back home traveled back to London 2015 lasted 6 months not for me anymore. Cape Town rocks
Living in Berlin currently, originally from Seoul, and planning to move to London before end of next year with new job which I am working on it:)
Been to london a few times and fascinated by the energy and I missed the dynamic I had from Seoul, but still do not want to leave Europe yet so I chose London. I am quite career oriented and really like to try new things and I started to get bored with things in Berlin after 7 years. Guess it is time to change. My biggest mistake while I was in Berlin is that I should have taken a lot more seriously about speaking local language - i mean after 7 years I still feel like tourist - this is also one of the biggest reason that I wanna go to London, since everyone will understand me at least 😊
Qq: where can I find the average salary level in London internet? Do you have any websites in your mind?
This was so helpful, thank you! The best video I’ve seen about moving to London.
i’m so happy it helped you! all i can ask for ☺️😇
True ! I ve just moved from London because too much expensive, nowadays it's really too much even though London has really much to offer as well ❤
i couldn’t agree more ❤️ we also just got back from a 2 day trip and my boyfriend has his bag (passport laptop and wallet) stolen … it’s so unsafe 😢
Im not actually moving in to london... im just interested to learn about life in different parts of the world :)
i love this! where in the world are you living? it's always so good and fun to be curious. the world is so so big!
@@mreesking India! (Always stay curious )
this is such a good video! thanks for the tips
What do you think about Portuguese people who complain about foreigners / nomads moving there and increasing prices and rent?
7:51 dating in london is good if you want to have fun and you meet the standard of beauty. If you’re looking for something serious, don’t meet the standard of being slim, white, pretty etc then it’s awful and quite draining.
I can tell you you will only exist here ,will pay your rent 1000£ for shoe box,share the house ,moving homes constantly, pay metro food and end of month you have 0£ . Use to be better days. But not anymore
Super helpful. Thank you 🥰
Lived in London for 1,5 years and couldn`t wait to leave, the city was making me so depressed. Everyone seemed so miserable and I`m the kind of person who soaks up everyone`s energy so places like public transport were so unpleasant. such an antisocial city also, everyone wrapped up in their world never sharing a smile or eye contact. I have no problem meeting new people but building relationships was impossible in London, no one ever had any time to meet up, people are so busy all the time not to mention the distances from one side of town to another are crazy so no one wants to make the effort to hang out. oh yeah and the rush... cmon! that`s no way to live life!
these are all such important points, and i think i can relate to all of them! i’m the same as you where i feed off peoples energy.. and sometimes it was hard maintaining that in london 🥲 i guess everyone reacts differently to the city - but i’m glad we are both in better places now!
@@mreesking exactly! I just prefer environments where people say Hi to each other and smile 🥰
of course, there are so many positives, like you mention in the video, I do miss the thrifting, clubbing and the pub scene but all those were expensive for a European salary 💩
Thanks for your video. Me and my partner have this opportunity of choosing between new york and London for the job.
We have been living in nyc and we love it but we are at a place where we want to settle down and get PR , buy a house etc.
Wodnering if London would be a better fit for us?
I lived 14 years. I miss london A LOT.But I don't see myself going back. Too hard.
The term for fear of confine space is claustrofobia. I am have claustrofobia and its scary
I lived in London Central for 20 years . If you do not have money you will live like a rat .If you do have money it is wonderful .
What are your favorite restaurants?
manteca !!! always first choice. my fav pizza is berbere in clapham. smoking goat is fun. padella for pasta 🫶🏼
I have no idea why I'm watching this, I own a house in the midlands and could think of nothing worse than living in a big city lmao
i'm with you!!! i love that you are living the dream away from london. it has it's benefits of course... but comfort over chaos always
In my case if I could afford to buy a property in London instead of living in a small city with limited things to do I would move back .
Can you recommend good areas to live in London especially for newcomer
yes of course. maybe it’s a good idea to make a short video going through my thoughts on the best places to live? it might be easier than writing on a comment!
hi! i just posted another video and mentioned at the end my places i recommend!😊
You sound so like Anya Taylor Joy.........its uncanny
❤
London is made for rich kids who consider themselves bohemian. Left a year ago. Thinking of making a similar video over on my channel, I lived in warehouses and now am in Spain. Who would like to see it?
how good is your Portuguese
not very good yet.. but I'm trying!!! my friend suggested to watch children's cartoons in Portuguese 🤣
@@mreesking Haha girl Peppa Pig literally taught me Spanish, no shame at all. Great video
What a beautiful girl! I could move to London just to see you!
Pro a chance of meeting you.
The most beautiful girl on earth
Are tattoos still cool? 🤔
No
Weird tattoos you will regret later in life.
Buses are 1.75 now, for 1 hour. But transport is privately owned and is filthy expensive. Probably the most expensive in Europe. Unjustifiably expensive.
Yes
