Prepare to be ripped off, everything here is so fucking expensive, from public transport to food. And the rent here is even more extorsionate than in Tokyo.

You're gonna be flinging back to mommy and daddy before you can say "congestion charge"


Couldnt possibly more expensive than my prior neighborhoods in San Francisco and Venice, CA... But I AM prepared to spend some dough.

HeyJude

Still waiting on mine... A UK company brought me over once before under some Sports & Entertainment agreement... I'll private-message once I have all my details if you'd like.

I'm on a working holiday-maker visa, Carrie, you can apply for one until your 31st Birthday nod they go for 2 years but you can only work for half your time here as last year they reverted the rules back to how they used to be

lemme see if I can find some more info for you...

Yep, and if you manage to get anywhere for less than £300 p/m it will be a room, not a flat (and certainly not a 2 bed flat, and even more certainly not a 2 bed flat in shepherd's bush).

That's only if you're from a commonwealth country. I can't get one as a US citizen.
Dammit if only I were Canadian! lol

As far as I can tell, the only way I can get a work visa is to get a UK company to hire and sponsor me. And being that I currently don't even have a degree that may prove to be next to impossible. sad
I'm looking into some things, though. I may get over there someday.
