London is fine ... for a 7 day vacations. Anything more than that, and it requires a lot of money a lot more.

There are still some bargains to be had in UK Real estate market

A right dump 1 bedroom flat for £220,000

Any takers?

That's not even funny, clearly an ex-council flat is now called a "city pad", great sense of humour. About 13 years ago that flat would have cost about 50k tops, there is simply no justification of todays valuations of similar types properties, simply because it is close to the City & Docklands, but essentially it is pure shite, just like another poster said.

I hail from just north of the rotting, smoldering, rusting former auto capital of the world, Ye' Olde World Motor City (Detroit), U.S.A.

Think Mad Max meets Escape from L.A.

Old Labour, New Taxes, another reason to leave if you make more than GBP 150k:

Taxes for high earners increased by more than 10%

this bolchevik government is hiking taxes from 40% to 45% (46% when you include NI), let's get the fu?k out of here, the place is stinking

I vote to go to Gibraltar. Still British but with that wicked Spanish flavor.


Or perhaps Malta.... they do speak English and it is close to Red Sea for diving.

went for a stroll towards Shoreditch, just outside the city. The place looks like a third world country type of slum. I will post some pictures.

The situtation here is getting worse and worse. Woolworth, a big retailer, is shutting down. People are losing their jobs in droves. It's crazy.

I will post an update next week on what's happening on the war front.

Ugly times, ugly place. May the Queen save us.
