Use London as a Base to See UK and Europe

If you are lucky enough to live in or near to London then it can be a fantastic base from which to explore the rest of the UK and continental Europe. In fact, one of the top reasons for moving to such a big city is to enjoy the travel possibilities it offers.
Great Transport Links
With several different airports, an extensive coach service and rail access to mainland Europe it is clear that London is a fantastic city to get in and out of. Whether you want to pop across to Paris for the weekend or make a longer trip there are plenty of ways of doing it. The underground network also allows you to get around the city easily, so that switching from an overground train to a plane shouldn’t really be too big a problem. 
A Multicultural Experience
The multicultural feel of the UK capital might not help you travel any easier but it will whet your appetite for some trips. All you need to do is wander along to a Greek, Spanish or Italian community and you will start to feel the excitement which going abroad will bring you. To really get into the mood you can look for food, music and clothes from the place you are planning to travel to. If you are lucky you might even foreign language films or theatre performances to take in.
Quality Language Classes
Before you head off to foreign shores you might want to learn some of the language. Clearly this is not really necessarily if you are only thinking about a quick jaunt to a big city but what if you plan on something a bit longer? In these days of internet workers and global worker mobility it is entirely possible that you are thinking of a long stay in continental Europe or even a permanent move there. London is a terrific city for getting hold of native speaking teachers and immersing yourself in the language. For example, for Spanish courses London lets you get started on the language and then try it out in those communities which we mentioned earlier. As well as Spanish restaurants you will also find a big Latin American community here to get you started on the tongue. The same applies to the French lessons London residents can take, and in this case the ease of travelling to get across the English Channel makes it simple to immerse yourself in the culture whenever you want to.
