I will be moving to london in a few days
any recommendations?
best mobile service?
best places to look for a job?
best places to visit?
best places to meet nice british girls?
how do i avoid jihadists?
>>
>>55692483
Maybe secure a job before moving, yeah?
>>
>>55692483
>best places to look for a job?

Is this bait?
>>
>>55692498
that's not easy when you're abroad unless you're an skilled professional. Nonetheless i'm actually talking with some people and they may give me a hand with that

>>55692509
No, it's a legit question, pl0x answer
>>
London has basically become like Las Vegas, it's a playground for the world with slight British undertones. As a spic you'll blend in seamlessly.

>any recommendations?
Buy an Oyster Card ASAP.
>best mobile service?
No idea.
>best places to look for a job?
Can't believe you're allowed to come here without a job, ffs.
>best places to visit?
Museums in Kensington area.
>best places to meet nice british girls?
Don't. There are some proper qt's in London but the fact they still live in London highlights their poor decisions making skills/degeneracy.
>how do i avoid jihadists?
Don't go into the suburbs. Avoid Tower Hamlets at ALL costs.
>>
>>55692483
When I went to London there was a lot of Spaniards living out of hostels still trying to find work. Find a job before you go fag.
>>
>job
You're going to end up working as a kitchen porter, waiter, barman in a Spanish restaurant. That's pretty much your only choice, pretty much all of the Spaniards I know do the same.
>>
FYI, in Spain, going to London to "find a job" is today as traditional as bullfighting or paella.

OP probably will be back in a while, or at least will move to a decent brit city. Maybe he will stay in London if he enjoys being a poor waiter sharing a house with 6 other inmigrants and is too stubborn too admit defeat.
>>
>>55692712
Most employers don't tend to make long distance calls to hire their employees unless you're an extremely skilled person. The only way to find a job is being there first.

>>55692763
Yeah that's my first idea, but i was looking for other possible answers. I mean i don't mind doing these jobs at all, after all a job is better than no job. But maybe you would know about something else i could apply for.

>>55692624
Thanks, i appreciate the answer. Would you mind telling me why should i avoid Tower Hamlets?
>>
>>55692922
You're not wrong. I know a lot of Spaniards that started in London then looked for refuge in a better city.
>London is good
Kek
>>
>>55692922
I plan to move to a decent city in the long run, but first i need to work and save some money to do so. So London that is.
>>
>>55692971
All Spaniards I know work in hospitality or retail. Unless they extremely good English and are skilled, there's a few that work in IT, design or teachig. They seem to be the exception.
>>
Dude, if you are there (apart of looking for a job), for improve your skills at english, stay away from London, because its full of spaniards and other non english people . Move to Wales, or Scotland.

Is it that bad? I wanted to visit the cemetery.

>>55693074

Bro there are parts of East London that are literally 90% Paki. Elephant and Castle, Romford, Guildford, Barking and anywhere south of the River Thames are all places you should avoid if you dont want to be culturally enriched.

The Suburbs east of London, ie Basildon, Southend and Castle Point are all pretty decent, if vapid.
>>
>>55693028
any idea what city you would like to move to ?

>>55693028
you won't save any money living in London kek
>>
>>55693191
Well, Manchester looks like a nice city, half million people(a lot less than london), it looks clean and neat, and has a nice job market(compared to the rest). Other options could be Brighton, Liverpool, Bristol or Birmingham.
>>
>>55693028
London is the most expensive place to live here. Unless you're earning a ton of cash, expect to be living in a small shitty flat with 50 people and commuting a fair distance.
You won't save money in London.

Manchester and Birmingham are even worse than London lol, complete shitholes of places

Trust me, it's not worth moving to such miserable cities for to be a waiter or something, you're better of just staying in Spain

If you do come to the UK use some initiative and go to a smaller, more comfy city with fewer foreigners so you stand out more, try Cardiff or something.

Well that's my idea, probably not 50 people but i don't mind living with other people or doing long distances, in the short term(a year or two) that way i would earn enough money to move somewhere else for a few months and find a job outside london.

Wouldn't say dangerous if you went in the middle of the day to be honest, but don't expect to see many English there at all.

Usually people save up money living in smaller cities then they move to London, not the other way round.

But, but, there are 750.000 british people in Spain. You cant be so mean :(
>>
>>55693460

You will absolutely not earn enough money to move easily. Rent even far distant from the centre is outrageous, then you have your utilities, council tax, and the cost of travelling from your distant domicile to your place of work will eat into the small amount of money you will have each month to eat.

If you don't have the skills to get a job in London from Spain, you're not what anyone is looking for. You are ten a penny, and you're not even the cheapest person to hire.
>>
>>55693549

I know, but from what i've heard, it is not really hard to find a job in london, some friends of mine are already working and they've arrived about less than a month ago

>>55693523
But isn't London shit compared to the rest of the cities?. Why would people save up money to go to london?.
>>
>>55693579

750,000, mostly retirees, who contribute. Not 750,000 leeches.

>>55693656

So, so, so, so, so naive about London. Why would people save up to go there? The same fucking reason you're going there.

I am sure the small percentage of that 750,000 that WORK in Spain do.
>>
>>55693587
Let's count:
I've seen flats for 500-600 pounds on zone 4
+150(travels with oyster card)
+150 on food

that's hardly 900 pounds on spendings, from what i've heard the usual salary is 1200 pounds
1200-900= 300 pounds free to do whatever i want.
in 4 months i would have saved 1200 pounds, that's more than enough to rent a room and eat in any city in england for a month or two i guess.

Of course that would imply i wouldn't spend a single penny more, but i can be pretty much a jew when it comes to saving money if i really need it.
>>
>>55693659

Anyway, Its well known that some british retired are leeching our Social Security system, and british criminals came to Spain to hide.

That'll be minus utility bills and taxes. Food and drinks and everything else one needs to survive are expensive as fuck in London. Good luck living in abject poverty.

>>55693781
Are you for real? I can just come and start leeching like that? How much can I get?

Not enough to live off, that's for sure. You also need a permanent residence, or at least something with a postcode on it.

>food and drinks and everything else one needs to survive are expensive as fuck

If i've learnt something when i've came here, is that things in europe are expensive if you're used to spend a lot. There are many stores with super cheap prices in everything, food, clothing, and so on. You don't need to spend 200 euros in a tie when there are ties for 5 or 10 euros. You don't need to buy top notch food brands when there are a ton of generic brands that are similar and cost 5 times less.
It all depends on the way you adapt to your situation.
I am able to reduce my spendings in at least like 50% and still be living in good conditions, healthy and comfy. Of course in order to do so you need to know how to cook, how to repair things, how to find the best prices, how to conform with second brands and so on, it's not for everyone.

Try Sheffield - big Hispanic population, low unemployment, cost of living is a fifth of London. I pay £120 a month in rent compared to my mate in London who pays £960. My house is nicer than his and all. You have to be a complete moron to live in London unless you're insanely wealthy. Even the kebabs move to Bradford and Rotherham.

OP Spanish immigrant here. You couldn't have picked a worst place to find a job m8. I actually lived in the UK for two years, my parents sent me to a boarding school in Bristol to learn english. The only positive thing was that I learnt perfect english which has been incredibly useful and has helped me in a lot of ways in my professional career the thing is that experience wise I would say it was one of the saddest times of my life. The atmosphere in the school was incredibly hostile and off setting to foreigners or people outside the "anglo" mentality. The treatment I received from my fellow students and also teachers had to be the worst treatment I received in my life. To be fair I will say that this was a super expensive school where the students were literally saudi oil magnates children and english politicians children. Since then I haven't returned back to the UK. I have received several attractive job offers from the UK but I would rather saw off my foot than going back there. What I am trying to say is that if I were you I would try my luck somewhere else like Switzerland, Germany or Austria. Sure the language is difficult but the people here are considerably kinder than any brit.

>this nigga thinks i didn't study

i actually have done a career for 2 years+ 1 or 2 years trying other careers, i just have chosen to spend this time of my life travelling around the globe and find my place because now i have the will and i'm physically able to do it, i find it way more enriching than having a degree and working for a company(also many graduates have the same problems as people who never studied anything).
I would have plenty of time in my 30s to study whatever i want if i feel like studying something.
I don't know, it's just another way of seeing life, you probably wouldn't understand it unless you try it. I don't regret quiting college a single bit, most people there were young spoiled brats who will never know what the world is like because they go from home to college like if they were 12yo, having their parents paying for everything. Some had jobs but again, they don't get to see the world and experience it, they just go from work to college.
Plus if i ever decide to return to my country, having a large work experience all around the globe will be far more interesting for my employer than having a person with a degree that never went out of his shell
>>
>>55692483
You are a fucking idiot if you are moving to London without a secure job, there is a reason so many homeless are there.

>>55698574
Ah yes, the whole "travelling around the world" thing. Do you realize that it's a form of escapism for people who can't do simple things like studying or finding a job?
"I'm finding myself" yeah sure, more like I don't know what to do so I'll evade myself.

I studied and worked in Barcelona,Paris and Madrid. So don't tell me I never went out of my shell, I got my shit together unlike you.
>>
>>55698574

They were not dicks man, it was way worse. I have never seen such a racist and classist mentality. I swear I had room mates from fucking Pakistan, South Africa and so on whose parents were fucking loaded but because I was there on a scholarship program and I wasn't from the "anglo" culture they treated me (and several other students who were from the same scholarship) like fucking niggers.

And no, it's not a form of escapism, i'm not escaping from anything, it would have been far more easy to stay at home and keep going to college like if it were school, like you did. But again i like to travel and actually know what is going on in the world. You prefer the easy way and remain ignorant and childish, thinking that your shitty degree will save you. Well just take a look around, most graduates in spain can't work from what they have studied, they're doing the same shitty jobs the rest of the population is doing. Their degree is worth a shit, and they're fleeing to other countries, even third world countries. But again you don't know that because you don't go out of your shell

I actually remember one instance when one of the girls from school came during recess and she was dropped by her bodyguard in her daddy's bentley.

The fucking gorilla that was driving the car saw me and started cussing at me like a fucking chimp, grabbed me and started pushing me against the car. I was fucking 12 years old man.

you have 15 days and some money ?, wow!, i'm really impressed by your life

>but you can't find a decent job
All jobs are decent, what is not decent is feeling proud of having done a degree with your parents money. That's like the most autist, easiest way of life ever, and i've seen it a lot around here, there are a ton of young spoiled brats with degrees around here who drive cars and spend money 24/7 while being unemployed just because their parents are rich or middle upper class and can afford all their wishes.
I would be fucking ashamed to live like that tbqh, manchildren with degrees what a fucking accomplishment.

Keep lying to yourself man. Traveling to many countries doesn't makes you better. If your whole life is that then it's just sad. Everybody has travaled so what if you did it during a year? Is that it? Your life is over? Are you going to keep this life of running away? Did you read books? Had meaningful experiencies? Created something?
There is many ways of living and I respect that, but most of the time, people who travel around for so many time is just escaping the reality. I travelled through Europe one summer and It was a great experience but in the end you can't live like this your whole life.

Well sure. I was there from 3rd Form till 4th Form. The school was called Clifton College it was right between Bristol and Bath in a town called Clifton, very lovely as I remembered. To be honest one of my only comforts was waiting for the weekend so that I could leave the school and go around the town and visit the old little quaint shops and bookstores there by my self and buying really old history book with illustrations which were impossible to get in my hometown in Spain. I had a really hard time making friends cause at that time was very shy and my self-confidence was very low (I was 13/14 and I hadn't had a girlfriend or kissed a girl which at the time seemed important) and all the kids knew each other and I was literally an outsider in every sense (culturally, linguistically and Institutionally since it was my first time experiencing English education). The thing is that spanish education is way different than the english one in some ways we are so behind you guys but in others you are the ones who are behind, for example; all the humanistic branches are so well regarded in England that is insane, by that I mean literature, classic civ and arts. Its waaaaaaaay ahead than spanish education, it was thanks to this that I decided to make a bachelor in art history and history in Spain. On the other hand your science curriculum is almost laughable. I was the worst math student back home and when I came to the school I took a placement test and I got sent to the 1st class and during the year I scratched my balls cause all the stuff I had already studied it the year before. I dont know it was an experience that is for sure but the people there had to be the worst specimens that I ever had the displeasure of meeting. Uppity, egocentric and arrogant. They thought because they were born into money that gave them the right to feel superior about themselves.
>>
>>55700616
During schooldays all the alumni had to wear appropriate attire, that meant wearing your own suit or buying one from the school. Because my parents spent so much money already on school stuff pane tickets and whatnot they told me to buy a suit from the school (which was significantly cheaper and as you could have guessed way less stylish and proper fitting) but most of the kids wore their own tailored suits. This was one of the things that people picked on me the most because I was fairly small at that time and the sizes in England are a little bigger that in Spain so I looked like my big brother lent me the clothes and girls used to laugh at me because they thought I looked like a little boy in these huge clothes. I would lie if I said that it didn't affect me, this things led to me having super low self esteem until I started college in Spain.

I'm not planning to live like this my whole life, just my youth, once i find myself comfy in some place, i would probably start making plans to settle down, have a family and live like a hobbit, but at least i would have experienced and seen the world and will have a lot of stories to tell my children or my friends, and also have good friends all around the world.
Of course it doesn't make me better, but neither does your degree, what makes you better is pretty much a relative issue and it differs from person to person
