It's a great city. I will miss it to be sure but 6 years is enough...it sucks you dry.
Transport is fucked, old, shitty, unreliable and overpriced.
Rent is crazy...but there are affordable area's...right now my wife and I pay £1,200 pcm between us for a one bed 1,000 sq ft pad in hampstead...but we choose to pay that much because we absolutely love the area - we could get much more bang for our buck further down te road in camden...but let's face it if that place is a fucking dump.
There is so much to do here - culturally I have yet to find another city in teh world that matches it - maybe New York...but the weather is total fucking shit and I find the English, on the whole, a miserable bunch generally, which doesn't help! ha.
To summarise....over priced city with a useless transport and infrastructure system, that will suck you dry and spit you out.
Have fun.
