Hello, i'm moving to London from Italy and i need your help!! I have my small Internet business and thinking of moving to the UK, in London or somewhere not so far from London. I need some better taxation, an English-speaking environment, a better contact with English programmers and so on. My questions are:
1. What are the best places to live around London considering I'm not a billionaire , I am moving with my girlfriend, and I wouldn't need to travel to London every day since most of time I would like to work in the place where i'm supposed to live?
2. I was thinking about Harlow, it's close to Stansted and about 1 hour away by train or coaches from london, how is this new city?
3. What is the cost of decent living in the UK if someone doesn't have to struggle every day but he is not a tycoon either, like, how much would it be totally for a month (incl. housing (rentals), electricity, other bills, food - all, probably, slightly above the average)
4) I'm considering also to live in London at the very beginning, like in a share house but i actually have no idea of how is living in that kind of apartments....so, what is it like?
Would highly appreciate all answers, Cheers
Fred
Answer on Best places to live near London?
Actually Harlow is only 30 minutes by train from London Liverpool Street Station, but it is a dreadful place, If you want to be near Stanstead look at Sawbridgeworth or Bishops Stortford. Other nice towns with frequent fast trains to London are Leatherhead, Dorking and Guildford in Surrey, Sevenoaks Kent mebtioned above. Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Remember to take a good look around any town you are considering moving to. One man's paradise could be another person's hell
