living outside london?

hey everybody,

i'm considering a move to the UK for 6 months or so. i need
a place where i can work los angeles hours (5pm -2am london
time). a live/work space in an artist building would be
ideal. i know london fairly well, but the area surrounding
is a mystery to me. a train ride of <1 hour into london
would be alright, any further out and it would be too
inconvenient i think.

it would be great if you can help out; where is everyone
living? anyone know of shared warehouse spaces that keep my
hours? i hear the east end is teeming with artists as well,
i'd like to hear from anyone living there and what the rent
is like etc... thx!

Whereabouts in London have you moved to? I was born in
Wimbledon (though I now live in Scotland). My little brother
lives in the Fulham area.

move to Peterborough......lol.......no.....lol lol
lol.......don't........er, Luton.......BWA HA HA HA HA
HA.........sorry.....

There's nowhere outside London that's an hour or less train
journey away that's any good. You may as well move to
London, or if you really can't handle that - pick another
good city and just put up with a long train journey....

Actually, Brighton might fit the bill.

Too busy, too much hassle, too many cultural clashes,
expensive run down homes in tight, unpleasent terraces.

hmmmmm, yeah, but it's also got the best nightlife in the
country and the fittest girls. you'll never be bored in
london and there's some amazing architecture and things to
see around the centre. also got a wicked buzz to the whole
city - you can't help but get caught up in it and it makes
it exciting just to be alive and experiencing it.

you can see DMX Krew, cylob, mike dred etc at any given
weekend. it has bangface, plex etc...

it's wicked!

also, the homes aren't all run down terraces - that's just
what you say if you've never properly explored.

i live in a very nice flat thankyou and it's in a lovely
area with no "cultural clashes" and a nice chilled vibe.

i've moved to a shoebox size flat somewhere near the border
of west hampstead and kilburn. i agree with pretty much
everything; culture clash, expense, rundown, amazing
architecture, beautiful women. good to be here
