Thinking about moving to London in the near future. What are some of the best places to work at (interactive and tradional), whats the average salary for an art director and how expensive is it really to live there? Any thoughts and info would be greatly appreciated.

Try and live close to your job. I swear, I would be a happy, kind human being if I didn't have to commute with every subhuman, parasite, weirdo, thief, knife-welding tossers day in, day out, who bascially turn me into a violent, hatefull, murderous person for 2 hours every day.

Yeah, move to london. It's a great design scene here. Aside from the agencies afore mentioned, check out Spin, Poke, Imagination, Kleber, Saturday, Tonic. Many of these (barr Imagination) are quite 'small' outfits so it's not very often AD vacancies come up.

move to london and become a bitter, exploited, pasty faced, unhealthy, miserable, poor, whingeing alcoholic just like everybody else.
its pretty awesome.

awesome work on your site - you'll have no trouble getting a job. You will however, have a lot of trouble tring to find a company to sponsor your work visa. Even though you have a very high standard of work...so do a lot of designers in London unfortunately...
