1. What are a few samples of common dinner assortments in the UK? What type of foods are most often consumed where you live? You can find loads of restaurants in london - Most boroughs will have a full range. 2. What is the average cost of a flat/apartment to rent a month/week/day? £200-£400 a weekly? You will have to look obviously. 3. What are some things that stereotypical Americans should be aware of (item names, slang, etc) that are different from the United States? Erm... Squid/Quid = £, 4. What are some good television shows? Top Gear, Embarrasing bodies, East Enders (woo), Misfits, just read the TV guide and pick your fancy - we get alot of american shows too. 5. What are the best internet options? In terms of consistancy, BT does a decent job - it rarely drops out if you live in London. BT are installing new fibre-optic links. But you can call up Sky and Virgin for equally competitive internet. I'd go for BT though 6. How expensive is it to travel on a daily basis? Oyster Cards = Discounted Travel (IN LONDON) - Travelling to other cities its about £22 for a one-way ticket. Average Journey on the Tube costs around £2 with oyster, Buses are also £2 (without oyster card). The more travelling you do, the "less" you pay overall. As in if the journey were to cost £10(5 individual journeys), it will cost £5 (the price of a day-travelcard). 7. Reccomended sectors of London/surrounding areas to live? Try be as close to the Centre of London as you can comfortably afford - I live roughly 1-hour by Tube and its pretty handy being so close (if I need to go to central london) I left out the places to live in london: Blue is the Central London, the red parts are the places are a bit :s Hackney does has great bagels though... 8. How large are flats? Depends how much you want to pay. You can pay up to £1,000,000 to get a 4-bed flat on top of Baker Street Station, if you are that desperate. 9. Is there Mountain Dew in London? Not as far as I am aware - you can probably find it in import shops 10. Any suggestions/comments/input/advice from yourself. Avoid East/South London (sorry guys), be close to stations with Piccidily/Central/District lines (or atleast not a far journey on a line to such line). Thats all there is to it.
