modern values, with a vibrant social atmosphere.

and has a population of around 8 million people. That makes it the one
of the most densely populated cities in Europe.
Situated on the River Thames in the south east of England, London is
famous for a number of English icons. These include the Tower Bridge,
Buckingham Palace and Wembley Stadium. London is also home to four
world heritage sites including the Tower of London. The London
Underground system is the oldest underground railway network in the

Visa requirements when moving to London

arrange a visa. The visa requirements for living and working in London
(and the UK in general) will be dependent upon your required length and
reason of stay.
If you are a European Union National you do not need to get a visa to live in the UK.
If you have family members from non- EU countries then you need have suficient documentation of being an EU national living in Europe.
You must prove that you are exercising Treaty

Visa requirements and regulations for approvals are constantly being
reviewed and amended. With any type of international move, it is always
a good idea to check with your local embassy to ensure the visa
requirements and check for the latest information regarding travel and
changes
Employment in London
With the upcoming Olympic Games in 2012, employment in London is
receiving a huge boost to its market. London is preparing for one of
the world’s biggest sporting events, which not only brings it in to the
global spotlight but also brings a number of additional employment
opportunities.
The size and location of London make it a central hub for UK, European
and global businesses. Many major companies have head offices located
in or close to London across all areas such as finance, insurance,
government and more.
It is reported that there is a skilled workers shortage in London, with
the occupational areas of engineering, medical practitioners, dentists,
nurses, scientists and teachers being some of the main areas of
shortages.

Cost of living in London
As with most major cities, the cost of living in London is one of the
most expensive in the country. As with any type of property purchase or
hire, the price you pay is very much dependent on exactly where you are
living, the size and type of home and the condition of the property.
London is one of the most expensive places to live in the UK. However,
salaries and job opportunities are also generally higher. Some of the
popular areas for expats include Shepherd’s Bush, Notting Hill, Camden
and St John’s Wood. No matter where you choose to live, your main
concern in addition to the price, will include the safety of the area,
along with the proximity to amenities such as public transport and
other facilities.

Tips for moving from New York to London
Tip 1: M. Lightfoot moved from New York to London one year ago
With the use of the internet, you can really make a lot of arrangements
prior to arrival. I found this really handy to do in my spare time
before I actually moved.
Tip 2: G. Emmerton moved from
New York to London nine months ago
I started packing well in advance with all the personal items I had
that never used. Then when it was the last minute rush of the final
packing, there wasn’t so much left to do.
Tip 3: D. Franger moved from New York to London six months ago
I found a number of expat sites to help me settle in. I forgot how
isolating it can be when you first move to a new place and you are
trying to fit in and create a new social circle. London is a welcoming
venue for this because there are so many expats here.
Tip 4: J. White moved from New
York to London four months ago
Get your friends to help you with things you need to do, it was also a
good opportunity for me to say goodbye and make sure that we kept in
contact after I moved.
Tip 5: C. Lester moved from New
York to London eight weeks ago
Get yourself up to speed on the rules of (English) football – and fast!
I’m really looking forward to enjoying the social gatherings and
understanding what it means when the ref blows the whistle!
