Having grown up in the idyllic and spectacular scenery of
Growing up in the West Country is a great experience, and I would strongly advise it but, for me there came a time when I wanted to branch out, explore more, and I set my sights on London. I count myself lucky in that my mother and father grew up in South London, some extended family still live here so getting a place to stay wasn’t that hard but instantly I was caught up in the fast pace of life and I loved it. It’s got everything a person of my age could want, fantastic places to eat, drink, socialise and meet new people not to mention the endless job opportunities and fantastic cultural diversity. I often get the impression the majority of people are trying to get out of the “rat race” but I say… take a good look at what this area has to offer, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Hi writer,
I too have moved from a quieter and less busy area to the Greater London Region. London is proving to be as exciting as you have described it - with its mix of culture, diversity, food, drink and generally a more 24 hour lifestyle - me likes it too! Glad you are settling in.
