Hello!

I'd like to know if it is worth moving to London or any other cool UK cities for business purposes.
I live in an Eastern European country which is not good enough for me cause it is a pretty poor country.
So please tell me a bit about UK , especially London pros and cons.

Thanks
 


Depends how much money you have and what you want to do. London is expensive in all regards - property, food, transport. You'll need to pay at least £300-£500 a week for an ok place, and that's just rent.

Pros:
Moderately nice
Lots of things to do
Some places have pretty cool views
Lots of variety in food etc
A section for everything
Will host the olympics

Cons:
Really expensive to travel by tube (pretty much the only means of transport apart from bus, and that would take ages if you're going to say, the other side of London)
Unlikely to be able to drive (parking spot, congestion charge, etc.)
High prices for property
A lot of people are unfriendly
Higher likelihood of getting mugged than other places
 
Is it better to do aff marketing there than in a poor country?

I mean, I could learn to speak english better, I could network with other aff marketers, network with cpa network owners...

What do you think?

You can do AM from anywhere. You're not that far from London so you can still attend conferences. If you're working with UK networks you can still network with them no problem, but don't move to London JUST for doing AM. Moving for a better quality of life is a different matter.

Expensive as shit to live in London though. I live a few hours north in a 4-bed house, same cost but in the city you're looking to get a 1 bed flat.
 
Moving to the UK specifically for AM purposes is clearly not worth it, for AM purposes I can only really see the benefit to moving to a low/no tax country.

For quality of life London is good but also expensive as shit with lots of downsides.. I'd probably recommend Manchester/Birmingham over London.
