part time jobs in London would help ex Londoners like me to stay longer. I was a student years ago. There is still so many charming streets to explore. I go there every 2 yrs for memories, but the accomodation costs is killing. Food is affordable. Transport costs can be cut down by walking a lot.. looking forward to you interviewing random people on how they survive by part time jobs . is there such jobs for temps.. Tq. Love your short vid😊

I really love London, but right now it's too hard and expensive to live there...

Great video! I miss London! Lived there many years and went to uni there. Definitely a great vibe! The girl in the tie dye shirt with denim jacket sounds like she’s from Finland 🇫🇮 Lovely girl!

Nice channels guys, first video of your channel I've watched and I enjoyed watching it 😀👍

It's way too expensive to live here. Basically impossible... My BIGGEST regeret was saving 100k and wasting 70% of it on a deposit on a house

Amazing video happy to be a part of it as well!!😍

My dream since a little girl has been moving to London. I give credit to Mr Bean, the tv show 😅😅. The only thing that scares me is the high cost of living. I might be going as a student for a year but I would love to have more time to experience the culture and the theatre scene! I am an actor and London just sound like the ideal place for it !

London is wonderful but I've found it far busier than ever before. I'm in my 50s and would recommend avoiding London in August. Some areas are so busy, that it becomes hellish.

great video on the perspectives of locals and expats!

I have been in London for 8 years, I love the high population of the London but not the weather. I would love to move to Spain next.

Food is still incredibly cheap compared to N America.

My question to all of this is simple…. If one of disabled or in a wheelchair, as myself…. Is living in London vs. u.s.a. worth the work to do so. I’ve always wanted to live there. Clearly, after my accident, that has out a damper on many of things. Including going to places I’d like to travel or live. To anybody who lives with and works through a disability and resides in the u.k. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any tips pr pointers.
