We're here in London for 2 years now and I still don't like it. How much longer should we give it, maybe move outside the city? Or just find a new place to go? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

NYC and before that Belgium. Husband works here and is not looking forward to search for a new position and move elsewhere. Not that he loves it, he feels he should stay somewhere and settle down. he wants to try Sevenoaks for a few yrs, I feel we should just pack up- live is to short to not like it. But then again, I'm currently a SAHM. [ Reply | More

Dirty, congested, crowded, very aggressive people (can't believe all the stabbings even in the so called posh areas), expensive, terrible infrastructure, private school costs GBP 25K a yr and are not easy to get in. I just don't like it here and feel 2 yrs was a fair try- not just giving up. [ Reply | More

It's funny, I'm english and from London and even I much prefer NYC to London. Your description of it being dirty, congested etc is spot on and I don't know about you but I find NYC a lot more child friendly in general than London, I can happily live in NYC with a baby but would not want to live in London with one. As soon as we decided we wanted kids we relocated to a village outside the city called Theydon Bois in Essex. It's nice but expensive, near Epping Forest which lovely for walks etc.....not sure about the shools though haven't looked in to it. Kent is nice (where Sevenoaks is) but if you're wanting the convenience of city living that NYC offers I don't think you're going to find anywhere that matches up to NYC in the UK, and like you said life is just too short!
