The weather is something that should definitely be on the cons list.
I grew up in Kent and spent my 20s & 30s in London.
I moved to South Wales about 5 years ago and still feel like I’m getting short changed when I see a weather forecast.
However there’s plenty to make up for the weather not as great.
The Gower and Brecon Beacons being easily accessible, superb mountain biking and pints that are comfortably under £4.

Thanks all for the replies, very useful (and positive) stuff! I think the main things which are causing me difficulties are the thought of starting again somewhere where I don't know the place or any people, and then finding that it doesn't have things that I've grown used to in London. Although maybe that's a pessimistic way of looking at it and instead I should focus on the positive differences.
@Silly_Savage much appreciated. The rain was genuinely one of the things that I noted down in a potential Cons list but that feels silly. How bad can it be? Please don't answer if it's bad and depressing. Anyway, I've got a few more things to look into today and will probably get in touch this evening if that's ok.
I've got a few days off next week, I've seen that hotels are open again in Wales now so I was planning on heading over for a night to get a feel for it. I know technically I shouldn't but given how tight my timeline is I'm struggling to find a better way of going about it.
