Texas -> London; moving ?s

Welcome to the Forum Megan

A lot you will know but Expat.com has an Expat guide of England. That can be found at the top of the page under Handy Tools.

Be prepared to budget well, London has become very expensive. Use public transport forget buying a car especially as in the UK they drive on the right side of the road and in America you drive on the wrong side of the road.

I always recommend making a note of the telephone number and address of your nearest Embassy just in case you should ever need them.

Find a good nice local pub, there will be the odd day you will need to visit it. (come from a family of teachers and sister use to teach in London) What part of London will you be working?

You will also need to find a GP in your area. As you will be working and paying tax you will be entitled to free healthcare but you will have to pay for prescriptions. Also finding where your nearest pharmacist is also a good idea. 

I can't think of anything more to say. But congratulations on your new job. Should you have any other questions feel free to come back and ask away.
