I'm a developer originally from New Zealand, lived in London also for a couple of years and now I'm in SF on an H1B. I totally second Alex's comments - SF and London are a world apart, and in almost every way I prefer SF; the only things I miss from London are cheap flights to Europe and curry from Brick Lane. And truly, the weather is pretty good - never too hot, never too cold, sunny more often than not. Other things that make SF amazing: Dolores Park (featured in Alex's post), food trucks, the hills and the easy access to wilderness, the number and variety of restaurants and bars, and so much more.
