Quality of Life in London, United Kingdom

Even on slightly the above minimum salary, you cannot afford to improve your living standards or get ahead. Some people who have jobs are nearly homeless, living in temporary accommodation and public transport costs are the highest in the world, if you moved to Australia you could buy a car with London public transport costs.

If you earn Minimum wage or even below that, you will be absurdly poor in London. Even if pay is several pounds above Minimum wage, you will still struggle to put something for savings. Public transport and rent are both so high that big portion of income goes away just for right to work here. With food, clothing, leisure time you must compromize otherwise spend all income.

London isn't fake.Every big city has a dark side.Even Tokyo.London isn't all about estates.I can list like allot of districts that aren't vulnerable.London was always great and will always be great

London is London. A massive city but that doesn't really mean anything other than there are loads of estates. Central London is cool. Nice skyline. Cool cafe's. Nightlife is obviously interesting. Extremely expensive. Over priced for most commodities.

However, for the young professional: If you have the chance to earn a decent salary and live in london for a few years, take it. You'll have a great time. But you will soon want to move and get the hell out of there.

My suggestion if you want to live in a city that has everything London offers but less polluted, populated and still has similar opportunities: Berlin or Dublin.

This city is a melting pot of shit. This is then liberal utopia you read about and now you're living in the hell you created. Muslims are taking over, house prices are ridiculous, and the stage is set for a collapse and rebirth under a new regime. Very disappointing. God save the Queen because nobody else can.

City for individuals, not families. Unless you are fine with paying bills until you are 70.
