Surviving The UK: Why London Might Not Be The Best Choice For Fresh Immigrants

(Go Down)
You have recently moved to the United Kingdom and things seem a bit hard for you. Listen, it may be because of your location.

Most freshers in the UK, often think London is equal to the entire UK. That's not true. London is the capital of England, and there are four countries in the UK with each having their capitals.

You are based in London and doing minimum wage work. My brother and sister, if you are not careful, you go suffer tire.

Rent in London is as high as 2500 pounds per month for a two bed, even a shared apartment for just a room is about 1000 British pounds per month. While you are complaining on a daily basis others are doing well in other cities like Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh , Belfast, Swansea, Sheffield etc.

This picture is what Birmingham looks like. The salary difference is less than 2k per year between London and Birmingham for some starter jobs.

You can get a 3 bed house in Birmingham for 1100 -1500 pounds per month, and shared apartments between 600-700 pounds per month. Do the maths.

Don't stay in London if you are not a high earner. Those who earn 60k upwards per year will do reasonably well in London.

As a minimum wage earner, move to the north and enjoy your life with your small earnings. No go kill yourself. As someone who lives in the north, you can continue to apply for better opportunities in London and other big cities, and when you get it (high paying job), you can move back to London.

If you are going to study, consider Universities in other big cities. This would save you some money.
