About to find out - moving just south of Cambridge when the solicitors get their asses in gear...
I love London, and whilst I do agree with those upthread that the city is changing for the worse (shite government/ big business/ foreign money / steel 'n' glass etc) it still has an amazing amount to offer if - and it's a big if - you can afford to live here. I also feel it's a better place to be when you're younger; now I have young kids and a reasonably demanding job I don't regularly use the great pubs/ restaurants/ culture on my doorstep, let alone wider London... We have swapped a 2/3 bedroom flat for a 4/5 bedroom house with a garden in a village with a few pubs and a shop, a good primary school (with certainty of getting a place), and a seven-mile ride through countryside to work. So on paper it looks good. Ask me again in a few months!
