Moving out of London

I left London last year and moved to Cambridge.

1. Pros: took 10 mins to cycle to the countryside, took less than 10 mins to cycle (in the other direction) to work, everyone rides bikes, very pretty, lots going on culturally, great pubs, outdoor lido, pissing about on boats, cows wandering about in the city, lots of great people.
   
2. Cons: small job market in my field so if you discover that your job is awful then you're fucked, loads of tourists, some really weird people, very small world.
   
   

I lasted 6 months and moved back to London. It's really unsustainable as all the jobs I can do are in london but staying here permanently isn't an option.
My boyfriend is keen to move to Manchester at some point - he's from the north, but one of the shitty racist towns. I like the north and all but I don't really fit in. I'm keen to move to Scandinavia - if we're going to go north then why not go really north. Though I still don't know what I would do for a job.
