How exciting! Best of luck with the move! And you arrive in time for summer so that's great! Summers in England definitely seem to be warmer than up here in Scotland. So glad to hear you enjoy the videos, thanks for watching! 🤗

Thank you for this video, especially the bank recommendation. I move to London in two days from Durban, South Africa 😃

You are so welcome! That's very exciting, London is one of my favourite cities! Good luck!

Hi Cameron welcome to the greatest city in the world 😁 Im biased though as Im a Londoner through and through 😁I came back it London in 1992 (Im English but was brought up in Kenya and South Africa) and I have never looked back. You are just in time for Bluebell season dont know where you going to be in London but if you want peace and serenity find the woods and enjoy the bluebells for the next month South East London offers a lot of nature areas 😁 Lol Durbs and London are very different places something I always say is dont compare but look for what is good when you go to a new town or city. Something not mentioned but might be worth something is to shop around when you first arrive in UK especially London because the price differences vary hugely and it takes a while to learn where the value for money is. London has a public transport cap and after making a number of trips on the same day you start to travel free. Wishing you all the best 👍
