are there any Brits here that can say what London is like, and what difference are there from the US?

I can. If you tell me what city you are from and what the life is like there. I'll compare it for you.

Expect things to be a lot more expensive than you are used to unless you are from New York or something, in which case things will only be a bit more expensive. That's the best I can do without more information about where you live...

I'll take a stab at some more though:
-London has 1 camera to every 14 people
-The further you go from Central London to Greater London, the more likely it is that you will be stabbed.
-It's fucking cold down there.

Will a job of 30,000 pound get one by?

Yeah sure. You'll be paying out the ass for accommodation though, since it's London. 30K in another part of the UK would be better since it wouldn't be as expensive, but it should be fine.

In central London expect a rent of at least £1000 a month, around £600 in outer London.

You yanks are fucking morons. Charity begins at home, volunteer at your local homeless shelter and fix up your own part of the world before worrying about fixing everyone else's problems.

Ive lived in london my whole life , and its very livable if you know how. heres my tips

1) dont bother buying/renting a car. congestion charge ,gas ,and parking make london very difficult to use a car , but this is more than compensated for by the public transport ,which (despite some problems) is world class compared to most US cities.

2)rent in the Suburbs. The commute wont be pleasent , but the rent can be a 3rd cheaper (my room with access to bath and kitchen is approx $800 a month), and you dont really need to worry about crime as long as you stay away from the district line. even then , violent crime is no more prevlent than in the US

3) dont expect US standard of housing. It just doesnt exist in london. $1000 a month will get you perhaps a mouldy 1 bedroom flat , or more likely a room in a house youll share with 4/5 others.

4)food is less expensive if you cook it yourself. most Londerners do not eat out on a very regular basis , its far cheaper to cook your own , most supermarkets (which in most places will be whithin 10min walk) can provide everthing youll need

5) PARTY !!!, unlike Most US cities, london has a very vibrant 25hr culture and theres always somthing to do at night , with 24hr buses allowing people in and out at night

Hope you enjoy my city!!
