- By (12 articles)
It was Samuel Johnson who famously said that “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life”. Over 250 years later his point is still valid! London is a city that never sleeps and is always looking to the future, and it looks to remain so for many years to come. Here’s what we consider to be the 4 biggest reasons why London is the best bet for finding your next opportunity
1) Land of opportunity
London is one of the most economically strong countries we have today. It’s thriving and will continue to thrive; it is home to some of the world’s largest corporations and a hub for thousands of dynamic and innovative companies. The healthcare system of the UK is so strong resulting in high salaries for doctors, nurses and midwiferies. For example, a newly qualified Band 5 NHS nurse now earns £25,655, a doctor in his first-year foundation receives around 25,000£ and the starting salary for midwiferies is 24,907£. So, doing this big step is totally worth it.
2) Diversity
Worried about feeling out of place in London? Don’t be. The population is incredibly diverse, it has become one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. There are over 300 languages spoken in London and with a new foreign food restaurant popping up every day, you’re never short on options when it comes to what to eat.
3) You’ll never get bored!
Events are an everyday occurrence in London, you’ll never run out of things to do. There are amazing museums, theatre and endless music gigs. Plus, you’ll come to realize that every night there are talks, festivals and experiences to go and enjoy.
4) It’s well connected!
London has one of the best and most extensive public transport systems in the world. Between the Tube, trains and buses, the transport network can get you almost anywhere. Aside from getting you places (including to work), London’s public transport will give you a guaranteed topic of conversation with your new friends and colleagues.
