Londoners

"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." - Samuel Johnson

The streets of London are not paved with gold and it is not only grandiose architecture which shapes the city’s skyline. Instead, the sky that reflects on the Thames is full of dreams, castles in the air of those who packed their hopes and changed their homes for London’s bright lights.

Londoners come in all shapes and sizes. Some expats came to the city to make it their home, but the vast majority are only passing through. Some come for financial reasons while others are trying to make their professional dreams come true and not a few use it as a bridge to get somewhere else. 

And then there are those who took the leap seduced by London's magic, dreamers who are in love with the idea of living in one of the capitals of the world and one of the most stimulating places on Earth. Some succeed, some fail and some merely survive, but that's another story and shall be told another time. 


I hope this blog can be useful for people who are thinking of moving to London or who already live here, in terms of jobs, accommodation, social life, finance, food and so on.
