Considering moving to England in the next 3-5 years. What's the best city to live in? I like alot of culture so a city with with different ethnicities would be nice. The ladies gotta be fine, too.

How is Bristol? I only know this city cause of Portishead and Massive Attack, though :smashfrea

London is my #1 option but I would like some Limey input.

Thanks, cunts. :fing02:

I should've been more specific. I never want to permenantly live there. Live there for a year or two at max.

Shouldn't be too hard then.

It's going to be expensive though.

East London £650 - £750
West London £700 - £800

Have you seen Green Street Hooligans? How much is that sweet pad they live in? Elijah Wood's sister and husband that is. Looks pricey as hell, I'm sure of that. What part of London is the cheapest?

How much is that in $? West London is out of the question :smashfrea. Isn't that where Chelsea plays, damn. Your garage sounds rather nice, though. :D

That's about $3k a week, maybe more.

Could probably find one that costs more, but can't be arsed to look.

Cornwall is actually a nice area.

The pace is slow. (although you might think this is a bad thing)

depends on what your looking to do. big city life isn't for me.

If you don't want to fork out a bomb in living costs avoid london completely and move somewhere in the north of england. If you're after the quiet country life then cornwall and devon are good but both expensive places to live. Liverpool and Manchester are both great city's provided you avoid the ghetto parts and won't be that expensive to live in. Liverpool was the european capital of culture in 2008 as you mentioned you were after a place with culture. Bristol is ****e, full of farmers and inbreds don't even consider moving there.

I can't read and I can't write, but I can drive a tractor.

Looked up Cornwall. Very nice place, but not really what I'm looking for. Thanks, anyway.

You sure? B'ham city centre on a night out is like going to a beached whale convention.

I could only recommend London if you can afford the price of living, it's got everything a capital of a country should have.

It's a big place, I live approximately 10 miles out of London in South East London where rent and prices of houses are cheaper than central London.

You can get to the centre of London in approximately 30 minutes on a train.

I've only been to Birmingham once, I haven't had any reason to go there really!

I might be wrong but it seems like a place with a lot division between races as there is a large Asian (Indian, Pakistani, etc) community who don't like to mix with other races.

Supply and demand.

how about the countryside of UK?

East London £650 - £750 is about $1.5k
West London £700 - £800 is about $1.6k
South London £600 - £700 is about $1.4k

Dubai is MAAAAAAAAD expensive as well, It sucked when my pops wouldm't let me stay at the place he owns there.

I was in Birmigham a week last August. Honestly other than London all those other cities suck.

I think London is overrated. To be honest, I have had more fun in Nottingham, Newcastle, Brighton, and Leeds. Huge cities are good for day trips, but that's all for me.

the english cities are full of freckled birds with milk white skin, it's time for a trip to britain, i think

Pretty much everything here is covered, London is best if you want to have something different to do or see everyday, there is always something going on. Stay clear of Brixton and Peckham. I live in Blackheath, and my flat is £900 a month, for a one bedroom!! Best bet is to hook up in some student digs in New Cross or somewhere, its not overly nice but not too dangerous. Cheap accomodation though and access to trains and buses.
