After all, lots of opportunities and unique experiences await those who want to live in a culturally diverse city. Like any other relocation, it takes much planning and preparation to make it easier, especially for millennials who are looking to make the most of their stay in the Old Smoke. It certainly helps to have an idea what it is like to live there. Exploring the City It is better to imagine London as a community of several smaller towns, each with its own characteristics. When exploring the city, most locals advise knowing the culture of each area, the layout and community hubs, and tempering their expectations. This allows them to adjust living in the city easier.

Making New Friends Londoners come from all walks of life. While meeting new people can be intimidating at first, there are many ways to make new friends.
