I'm moving away from home forever, too London. Anything I should no about moving to London? I'm scared and excited. Everyone always tries to put me off from moving to London, this year I'm actually going and forever. Plus all my friends from university live there.

Make sure you know the area you're moving to. You don't want to end up in Seven Sisters or Brixton.

It is very expensive for accomodation, when I moved there in 1987 I was paying £250 per month on rent. On top of that you have travel, food and bills to account for so you need a well paying job.
