Looking for an apartment in London

International Movers by Kimberly J

London, crime and neighborhoods - which? by mattel
I'm relocating to London in a couple of months, and in the middle of my apartment searching and neighborhood research (from the web and speaking to English folks here in NYC), I discovered the depressing fact that Londoners often complain about the ...
Hi! I came from the States and was in the same boat as you when I arrived, although I didn't hear much about the crime. My wife and I relocated from Iowa for her job so we had quite a bit of help when we arrived. We stayed in short term housing ... Read More
