Life in London Vs New York

I'm getting relocated to London because my visa issues hit a stumbling block. I've lived in NY for 5 amazing years. London is a sick city too and I'm excited to be there, just don't know what to expect in a more specific basis. I'm in PE, so I'll be working in the organic part of London, not that crappy canary wharf bs.

Those who have an idea about the comparability of the cities, feel free to jot everything down !

London, has plenty to offer but expensive compared to most USA cities. Since, you failed to include your interests it is not easy to assist.

SafariJoe, wins again!
