Generally you should be fine as the banking industry is awesome in London. Culturally you should be fine (assuming you're American) - people are pretty friendly

Only words of caution are to see how Brexit affects the industry there. It may become less attractive in the coming years, and we're about to experience inflation etc which will affect your pay and quality of life.
Flats are super expensive in London. If you head up to Scotland as you mentioned in a comment then you'll get far more bang for your buck. As a Scot I'll vouch for us being extremely friendly! Culturally different to England but you won't have any issues fitting in.
On the whole though, the UK is great fun and very friendly!
- anexprogrammer 10y agoWell, most of the north is culturally different to the SE. :) For the OP, I agree with this - look North - the people get friendlier. Even though you'll be paid less you'll have much more money in your pocket to enjoy after housing and travel. I'll even agree that the Scots are extremely friendly - half my friends are Scots!
- ruairidhwm 10y agoVery true re cultural difference between the North and SE. I was just thinking from a purely Scots perspective :)
