Depends what you mean by "Quality of Life". I literally won't go to see friends because that would mean travelling to London. I hate the place. It is expensive, hostile, dirty and everyone is rude.
I live on the outskirts of the peak district. I can walk/cycle less than 30 minutes out of town and be walking along the old canals, through old villages and get amazing views of the countryside.
- dukeyukey 2y agoTo be fair I live in Zone 2 and I can be on old canals and villages (albeit now subsumed into London) in ~20 minutes walking. I grew up in rural Wales, and as nice an upbringing it was, there's a reason I have a single family member left, who's trying to move away!
- Symbiote 2y agoPeople in London probably live nearer to a canal or river, on average, than you do. They're all maintained nicely for walking. 30-60 minutes would take many Londoners to the countryside, the South Downs, Chilterns, etc.
- GasVeteran 2y agoThey don't have the countryside, clean air and amazing views.
- Symbiote 2y agoYes, I expect there are immigrants standing in the way.
- GasVeteran 2y agoAre they? It sounds hard to believe. But I haven't been to London in a very long time.
- twic 2y ago> everyone is rude I take it you've never been to Yorkshire then?
- GasVeteran 2y agoIt is the combination of what I described is the real issue. If it was just "people are a bit rude" I personally wouldn't be that worried about it.
