Leave London. I moved there when I was 26 and left when I was 40. I should have left at least 5 years earlier. It took a marriage and imminent birth of a child to finally push me into leaving. I now live in a small city (250k-300k people) in a great environment with plenty of outdoor space, mountains, rivers, lakes etc. I am not paid nearly as much as I was in London, and it took me a good 12 months to establish myself. However, I don't need London rates of pay to live here comfortably. I feel my quality of life has drastically improved in the last two years since leaving London.
