I'm in the UK, and not concerned about our children's educational/career prospects. As well as being ridiculously expensive, London isn't great for schools unless you pay for private or carefully live right next to one of the best ones. But there are plenty of nice places outside London and there are areas that still have grammar schools if your children get in. We're not in a grammar school area, but still feel like with some support from us, our children should still be able to get into very good universities.
Housing is more expensive than Europe generally though and universities are more expensive, but you get massively more support generally in UK universities from my impression (my sister is doing a degree in Austria and the contrast is striking; I've worked quite a bit with academics at various European universities so my impression also comes from talking to them).
But you need to be happy too with wherever you are. Unhappy parents will probably have a bigger impact than anything else.
