Book Reviews of Living and Working in London, 3rd Edition: A Survival Handbook (Survival Handbooks)
Book Review: Some good information, but missing a lot of key tips
Summary: 2 Stars
I moved to London 7 months ago to continue my job with their London office and read this book before I moved. Although there is some helpful information about making the move, I feel that I could write an entire book with all the stuff this one left out. When browsing through the areas to live, they leave out many key areas and have some in there I still haven't heard of after living here. One big thing they left out was that most flats to rent in this city are either semi- or fully-furnished. This would've been great information to have before my husband and I moved all our stuff over here for a 2-year stint. They also have no helpful information on getting a work permit or UK visa. It really seems as though the writer of the book has not actually moved to London for work, but instead only done some research. There are so many other tips that I've learned along the way that I wish someone had told me beforehand that were completely left out of the book. I found at least 50% of the information completely irrelevant or unhelpful.
