LB is about ~20-25 minutes by train from London IIRC, as it's between Bletchley and London.
The big problem with it is that it's a smallish town that has expanded massively over the last 20 or so years with no coherent planning, and no real increase in public services/facilities and it's still only got one route through the town without going all the way around the outside.
I heard Bletchley is ruff? The idea of getting anywhere quickly is a plus for me, in London it can take ages to get anywhere plus now they are messing up the roads from 3 or 2 lanes to 2 or 1 lanes the whole central planning in London is a messy.
I was also thinking to emigrate and move to Spain and work in Gibraltar, this is my last option.
I don’t plan to retire in the UK, specially after the treatment of the elderly in this country. Once you have passed your usefulness you are no longer valued and seen as an obstacle in the UK, ( my impression).
Pollution in London is pretty bad, the infrastructure can not deal with the population density. I have lived in London my whole life with the exception of a few years living abroad.
Most of my friends have left London moving to the outskirts they owned large homes in London and had enough of this city. You think London is great fine, my experience London over the last 10 or so, London is a skip.
Go to Cairo before judging London as a dump. Sure, it's not Singapore - but 3rd world dump? No.
Cairo fine if you think that, As I said I have seen the changes in London.
Sorry, London has become 3rd world city, with 3rd world attitudes and driving skills.
There is no common sense in London, The place is full of idiots that act first with out thinking.
The people in London are just cold, selfish the list of negative descriptive words would be almost endless.
The London experience now is like a conveyor belt and no empathy.
There are plenty of people in London that have really poor driving skills and some have really no idea how to drive effectively and use no common sense to reduce traffic.
I have seen drivers blocking roads and causing tailbacks all they needed to do was to reverse a meter or two this would allow traffic flow.
Nothing works in London, the quality in London is low and people still accept it.
