Whoa. So done and dusted? How is it so far? only ever breezed through the city but hear good things.

Well I can't see the conditions - that made me make the move - changing. I still love London, but Bristol is going to stay cheaper, friendlier and more liveable, while being pretty much as vibrant and exciting. Basically, quality of life is better value here.
So far it's made a great impression on me. Book an AirBnB for a weekend and give it a try, then look at the difference in rents!

Interesting comments. The London / south east suburbs still don't interest me in the least though, compared either to London proper or other good UK cities. The advantage over London proper is they are cheaper and you get more space, more green etc, which is nice. The disadvantage is you have to go into London proper for jobs, culture, diversity, nightlife etc. But you could move to eg. Bristol and have both at once... I moved to Bristol a month ago after living in London all my life, and I already know I'll never look back.
