I love London, and I love my commute (15 minutes on a scooter). If the UK didn&#x27;t have London, I&#x27;d move to another country. Living in London is the major draw of the UK in my eyes.<p>It&#x27;s not easy to get a 6 figure GBP salary outside a bank or contracting (usually with a bank), but north of 50K is very doable, and there are a lot opportunities. Rent &#x2F; mortgage is a low fraction of income especially when your significant other is also making a similar salary (it&#x27;s about 20% for myself and GF).
