Living in London
I'm planning on moving to the London area around October 2005 and would like to know about flat-sharing. I will be moving to London alone and would it be awkward to begin flat-sharing with people I just met. What is the cost for mobile phones service in the UK? I'm from the United States and would living in London be a positive experience for me? Thanks for your help.

Hope that helps!
One more thing is that it can be a little hard to make friends in London, unless your particularly vivacious or have friends there already so flatsharing might be a good way to get your foot in the door and have someone to go have a pint with every now and again and meet more people.
OH! Also they have student monthly tube passes that are good deals if that applies to you I don't remember what they're called thought - some funny name.
So lastly, when you think about London, think about what you pay a month here, and at least DOUBLE that - if you've got that sort'a dough, go for it!

It might also be a really good idea to put this question in the 'Moving back to the UK forum'

Gosh this takes me back to my flatsharing days - yikes.
I used to advertise my rooms in loot.com - best place! More upmarket ones will also be in the Evening Standard and Sunday Times. These are less popular though as you have to pay to advertise in them.
