Once you've done all the things suggested about, have a look on
http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.鈥?/a>
If you type in a full postcode (assuming you've found some jobs/ houses you like) then this will tell you everything you need to know about that area, including deprivation, crime, people, education etc.
Also think about where you currently live... For example, I currently live on the South Coast and know I'd rather live near a beach than in a big city... Have a look on google earth etc to gibe you ideas of how close stuff is. Don't necessarily go with places you've heard of- there's lots of great places to live!I want to move to England from the US. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!?

for housing /flats to rent/ jobs in London
You should really say what you want out of moving to the UK....big city? culture? rural?...........what skills have you got to offer....you will have to realise that your standard of living may be lower in some areas of life (but better in others)
I am based in Essex, near East london, and work in Central London.
if you have any specific queries, drop me a line essexfriendly@yahoo.co.uk
If you do manage to get over here i would recomend to live in Cardiff which is in Wales (which is next to England and still is in the UK as the UK consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northen Ireland which some people just dont see to get). Lots of new shopping centres are opening and new offices are being built everywhere.
E-mail me your vital statistics and I'll pass them onto my mates and you can probably hook up with one of them-cities available are Liverpool,Manchester,Brighton,Leeds and quite a few in London.;-)
Monster .co.uk for Jobs, Findaproperty.co.uk for houses,
All Cities Here have crime problems, stay on the out-skirts
It's cheaper %26amp; safer Generaly the nearer you get to London The Higher The Price Of Housing But the Better the Wage, If You Have A Particular Skill Then Around London is the place there are much better Job op's
How fantastic! Working in another country is a great experience. If I were you I would start off looking at it as a temporary thing, just to try it out and see how you like it. As you said you don't really know much about the country itself so it's better to get a general idea of what the country is like rather than jumping in at the deep end.
As you said your question is rather vague, you haven't provided much detail on your age (in case of you being a student) or education. There are many different types of visa available but it depends on your circumstances. Have a look at this website to find out more. http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/content鈥?/a>
In regards to which places to live, that really depends on what you want. A small town? A big city? London is a good start but very expensive. Have you thought about Scotland at all? Edinburgh is a great city to work in. Many Americans work there, in fact it's very popular internationally.
Have you thought about taking a vacation here first to find out what it's all about?
I hope this helps,
Good luck to you!
claim asylum. you get free house,car and a grand a week to live off. ive just moved from uk to canada, wouldnt go back, its too bloody exspensive to live there compared to N.america.
i would advise visiting first to look around , make contacts and ask proffesionals to get an idea of an area you like and prices, crime etc. dont dive in with little knowledge
Come to South Africa instead! We accept them all! Why go to a country that is so friggin fussy? In SA we have everything to suit your needs baby!!!
Which part of England ??? High crime/no-go areas are generally to be found in larger towns and cities. Avoid (if you can afford it ) areas of poor education, poor housing, and low expectations. There are many areas I could mention ( but I will not). Aim for areas that have aspirations, avoid Graffiti estates, It is all about money and education. `Moderate`prices will mean, away from London and the Home Counties, where prices are generally anything but `moderate`. There are many modern developments on the fringes of London, where flats, smaller apartments, and `first-time` buyers can get a foot in the door, but NEVER cheap!! Generally speaking , the more desirable the vicinity, the higher the price. Employment is not difficult if you have something someone needs.
I'll do a swap with you if you like - i'd love to live in the states!!!!
Do you have a job offer? Once you do, unless your specialty job is so unique that no one in the UK or any of the entire EU nations cannot fill, then maybe, you might get a work permit.
Otherwise you can forget it.
It is not that easy to just 'move' to the UK. Will you have the proper residency papers?
Basically - you have no recourse to public funds or employment.. that is stated on your passport stamp when you enter the country.
If you really want to move to the UK. I suggest you come here for a visit first. From the sounds of it, you haven't the faintest idea where the major cities and towns are!
Don't bother it is to over-growded here there is about 60 million people living here and its is such a small island. Europe is a much better options for example Belguim has only 10 million residents.
My advice: don't bother. Why should we let you into our country when you won't let us into yours?
i cant give you any advise ,but good luck any way
Do you have any qualifications to offer? Things are getting tighter re moving to UK, I think its like Mexico and the US.
DO NOT COME HERE!!! England sucks real bad, i dont see why anyone would want to come here, the people are RACIST, they are rude, the weathers bad, really bad... i've lived here all my life and i've had enough, its a depressing place to be, i cant wait to leave this crappy country.
There are lots of other countries which are far greater than England.
I will be your friend x
Wtf would you want to move to England first of all? The US has a far better standard of living and less crime, litter, etc., unless you happen to live in the Bronx maybe. Best idea would be to check out as much as you can before making the decision.
An idea for the job market is the link below, but don't know if you'd be entitled to apply to them but its useful info.
Depending on you age you can get a student work visa. I think it's up to age 30. it's about 1000$ and it allows you to work in england for 6-12 months. They also help with finding housing and jobs. The jobs are pretty much just at pubs and restuarants but at least you can get your foot in the door! I did this program in australia a few years ago and it was amazing!
why England try Scotland more friendly less crime more oil more wealth better scenery
