Life got a lot better for me when I finally moved out of London. I was fed up of living in a place where there was no cultural cohesion, where people constantly came and left, where ghettos naturally formed because melting pots don’t work in practice. I now live in a lovely town in Kent where I know and love my neighbours, where the streets are safe and clean. The air is clean. The roads aren’t all 20mph limited (FFS, Lewisham!) and people are generally happier, more polite and more settled. Some people will wince at how “white and middle class” the area is. But I have no chips on my shoulder about race or class, so this doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Leave London. There are much nicer places to be in the U.K., whatever age you are.
