Anyone from London UK? I am moving!

[joshfrommontreal]

So my girlfriend and I have decided to move from Montreal to London UK in two months (September '09).

 

As Canadians we are allowed to live and work there for two years. We have our visas and everything lined up.

 

I have read all I can, it seems like we are going to try and find a place in Camden.

 

Any Londoners care to share some advice? Something that the books wouldn't have covered.

 

What's a good cell phone provider? I've read about ordering groceries online, is that a good option? How long does the average person spend commuting to work (for my gf), Is an oyster card the best way to go for transportation?

I don't live in london but I can give you some info.

 

Camden is very arty i love it but not sure i'd want to live there lol

 

We have orange, 3, O2 vodaphone and T mobile. I use 02 as its cheaper for me but it depends what you want - have a look at the carphone warehouse website it'll give you some ideas

 

No idea about communiting but a weekend is always bloody expensive and yes oyster card all the way
