I'm leaving London with my girlfriend in a week, to move to Edinburgh. Been here seven years, both on a good salary, yet we live in an impoverished area and would never be able to afford to buy a decent place to live even where we are now. Edinburgh offers us an objectively better standard of living in every measurable aspect except proximity to Europe. I won't miss London.
- smcl 12y agoI lived in Edinburgh for eight years, it's a beautiful place and you'll love it there. If you're into beer, check out the Blue Blazer - it was my favourite bar.
- darkFunction 12y agoThanks! I'm pretty familiar with Edinburgh already but haven't seen the Blue Blazer. I'll check it out.
