Bad Idea to Move Abroad as an Analyst?

Monkeys -

As a 2nd year capital markets analyst on a strong team at a large shop (JLL, CBRE, Newmark) would it be a bad idea to look into a transfer to London, UK or look at associate roles on the REPE side there? Curious how the real estate scene there differs and what there might be to gain or lose from spending a few years in London. Any insights into comp, culture or experiences in London CRE is also appreciated. 

Thanks guys!
