Ask HN: Moving to London from California

6•siamese_puff•3h ago
I’m moving from a smaller beach town in California to London in a month as an American. Any tips?

30, no kids and a wife. Felt like life was short, so we found jobs and bought a plane ticket.

You'll love it. It will change your life in an amazing way.

Tips? Nothing concrete. Be open. Everything will change; let it. What you thought is true and indisputable will be called into question; let it. Find new truths. Bruce Lee said, "Be water." Be water. Allow it to change you and it will, permanently, in the best way possible.

When I was 26, I moved from California to Europe and never looked back. Easily one of the best decisions of my life. Have fun. You won't regret it.

Oh and when they ask you, "Who do you support?" (and they will!) it means which football (soccer) team do you back, and the answer is Liverpool.

P.S. If you have any concrete questions, my email is in my profile.

This is the way.

Whereabouts in London? I am at the south-western edge.

Make use of the huge amounts of green space that London has.

Make use of the nightlife in London.

Make use of the huge number of in-person events in London.

I am contactable via my profile if you'd like a more detailed discussion, and/or to meet for beer, coffee, etc.

Any reason why you want to swap sunshine of California for the grey skies of London? :)

Jokes aside, but just curious what is bad about California that makes you want to go to London?
