Congratulations! That sounds amazing.

But, what do I need to know about living in London for 12 months? Help.
Where in London will it be is the first thing I'd like to ask, central and West London and yeah you'll be looking at high cost of living, but the other districts are alot less restrictive financially.

Even if it's in an expensive area she could just live in a cheaper area and commute, no? London seemed to have great public transportation when I visited.

Yeah, but the way I asked means we'd get to know where she is gonna work and then mock her for it being rubbish.

I've heard it's much more expensive to live than over here Eeeep. Thankfully my pay check won't be that bad. But they've warned me that food and other necessities aren't cheap! Gah!

Yeah, I don't know how much it costs to accomodate yourself there to be honest, and whether it evens out in any way, but food and drink etc can be pretty expensive.

I guess you just need to know which places are cheaper and which are more expensive.
