Hey Eden!

I really like your post.I appreciate your post.Moving anywhere can be expensive.Unless you’re moving from Europe, you’re probably going to be taking a flight to get to London. The city is officially served by four airports (to include London Luton and London Stanstead), but in all reality, you’re likely to be arriving at either London Heathrow or London Gatwick So when you’re packing up and moving overseas to London, you know the fees are going to mount up.

Keep sharing !!

In reply to Karina Cohen. Hello Karina and thank you for reading! Unfortunately, every neighbourhood in Central London is very expensive. I lived in Bloomsbury the first time I moved to London. I would also suggest Marylebone and Mayfair, but they are my preferences. Many people recommend Shoreditch for a more hipster vibe. I have a monthly plan with O2 that has worked well for years. It's under £30 a month and offers enough data to hold all my blog social media and lifestream video broadcasts! However, I did buy my iPhone myself. Have you had a chance to watch the YouTube videos on my channel about moving to London?

I loved your blog! Im researching everything i possibly can. Im moving to London in february, 2017. Im an american who loved in the states most of my life, but i currently live in Brazil. Im moving as a carreer choice for me, but eithout any actual job offer. I intend on taking some short courses at two fashion schools again, after years having graduated already. The schools are Central Saint Martin, and Fashion College of London. I trully want to be inside zone 1 pf london, and wondered what neighborhoods are good to live in today? That are safe, not too expensive, has a nice feel to it as well. I might need some help on tips on what to do first.
I also, wanted to know, i want to buy a telephone plan as soon as i arrive, to be a le to
Communicate and have internet access. What companies do you reccomend?

In reply to Eden Humphrey. Hi Eden! Thank you for reading. Today's post will be about UK visas and is an interview with an immigration specialist. It may be of interest to you if you're not from the UK.

thank you so much for this. I also have a dream to move to London and I’m doing the research to make sure I’m prepared for everything. Flying there is expensive alone but living there felt intimidating. but after visiting there in 2014, i knew hands down that I wanted to live there. I will be checking your blog regularly. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!

In reply to iroirogirl. Hello! Great question! I'd be happy to help you specifically, if you'd like to send me an email. It really does depend on your field, so I'm happy to help. I was searching in two different sectors, so I can offer specific information on those plus what I have heard from other Americans in different area.

Just curious as to what type of work you were looking for when you first arrived in the London? I am currently trying to join my fiancee a year before our wedding and have been applying to jobs in my field but I get the impression that no one is interested in giving me an interview because I’m currently not in the country. Did you try to secure a job before moving? If so, what was your experience?

Hello! I did it the other way (moving from London to America!) Love hearing how you had the same problems (but in reverse!). One thing I can’t get my head around is the cost of groceries is the states, we’re finding it super expensive compared to the UK! Thinking we are shopping in the wrong places. Hope your still enjoying London and all it has to offer 🙂

Great article! Actually London is my dream place to live. I know there are many disadvantages but is very cosmopolitan city, and offers a lot for people who want to develop. Best regards

I find your tips really useful! It is really interesting for me how expats from the US feel here in London. I have some friends from LA who are really curious to come and live in London or a year or two and I am willing to help them with everything but the thing is that I have no idea how is here for expats! Thank you for the post! 🙂
