Have any of you considered moving out of London? Just a question... Thank the lord I’ve never lived in the sh it hole🕺 Narr, I'm not letting that comment from an ignorant provincial pass without comment!
London is the greatest city in the world as far as I'm concerned. Born in Hammersmith, lived West London most of my life. Dramatic changes since I was a kid on the 60s, that's for sure, but it's still an incredible place to live, with so much accessible, especially amazing parks and culture, and most of it for free. And it's easy enough to get out on a regular basis, which I do, and I like that balance. Having said all that, I will probably retire out in the sticks, West Cornwall being my plan at the moment.

Was. I’m similar but now find it dirty, expensive/rip-off, over crowded and chaotic. As a kid I loved it and as a teenager a great place to grow up and have fun. Never thought I’d hate it one day. Like your choice of Cornwall mate….very quiet for a city gent though. |

My son is currently working at Milford towers in Lambeth. He has a security guard outside the empty flat he working in as contractors have been threatened there. There are 4 security guards for protection of workers doing the shit hole up. And people say London the greatest city in world😀

London eventually ground me down, moved to Spain for 5 years and when I came back couldn't face London and so moved to a Scottish coastal village (where my Mrs is from) and other than a pain to travel to games I don't regret it a bit.

Aberdeen probably only place in UK I would relocate although the weather is shit. Know it like back of my hand and some beautiful spots within short drive. |

lol everyone who saying great place , don’t live there anymore 😀😀 I do and can only speak for myself still love it. Bit spoilt where I am as can get central in 15mins. Love wandering through the capital can walk same street hundreds of times and see something new everytime. Would not live anywhere else in England and I travelled around a bit when I get about everywhere else looks proper tired and backwards. |

On the east coast, as it’s a touch less windy and a little bit warmer 😜, both kids live in Aberdeen at the mo tho. |

I once started in a cricket match in Aberdeen in the middle of May. Arrived after a 3 hour drive from Glasgow in an open top MG in brilliant sunshine.
The game was snowed off an hour in!

I live in the suburbs (the clue is in the name although it isn't Croydon but no-one has heard of Purley) but I still love London. Like all major cities it has it's issues of course but I have yet to find a more cosmopolitan City anywhere in the world. If you want variety, you'd be hard pushed to find a better place to live.
There is a good reason people want to live there.
