Guest Post: Moving to London

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Today we’re happy to introduce to you a new guest blogger, Belle Gurd of Moving 2 London. As for what this comprehensive and utterly wonderful resource is for expats, I’ll let Belle take it from here:

Hey there, a big thanks to London Relocation for letting me hijack their blog spot for a guest post.

Today, I’m just going to give you a brief overview on www.moving2london.com, the London website I started with my partner (Nick) about 5 years ago when we were living in London.

moving2london.com is aimed, as the name suggests, at helping people move to London. The website is an online information resource (sounds boring, but I promise it’s not) with 19 videos (filmed and edited by Nick and myself), interviews, maps, blogs, an e-book, a Facebook group and Twitter account, all aimed at informing and guiding people on making the move to London.

Nick and I lived in London for two years, on the Working Holiday visa (best thing we have ever done just quietly) and whilst we were both trying to work our way through setting up a totally new life in a totally new country we decided we’d start a website about it. We wanted to help other people navigate their move over and inject a lot more time for fun and exploration! www.moving2london gives people info and advice on how to open bank accounts, what a national insurance number is, the job market, how to get around London on all the transport, how to understand the tube and loads, loads more. We’ve even got a fancy new e-book we’ve just recently published, ‘Survive and Thrive in London’. And for those of you who have used, are looking to use and want to use London Relocation, we’d like to offer you a 50% discount if you purchase using this link. http://www.moving2london.com/survive-and-thrive-london-ebook-50-off.html

Check us out if you’re heading over to London. London Relocation can help you find your home and we can help you navigate the city. Remember, life’s too short to stay at home.

Thank you Belle! We’re so happy to recommend your website and e-book to our prospects to help them transition that much more smoothly in their new London home.

We Think NFT is NiFTy!

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

The Not For Tourists guide is accessible at www.notfortourists.com.

Sending a hearty thanks to one of our prospective clients, Martha, for giving us the head’s up on NFT (“Not For Tourists”) travel guides!

Not For Tourists is a trove of local information for those who want to experience a city like the locals do, not the tourists. It is available for several major cities around the globe, and, why yes, London is one of them! It is of course all part of the fun to be a tourist now and then in one’s own city, even if you’ve lived there your entire life, yet if you’re like most of our clients, you are relocating to London for the purpose of work or school–this means you will have a real, everyday life to sustain in addition to sight-seeing, so it’s useful to have a resource like this to make yourself at home expediently.

Information is easy to access when you sign up on the website, and you can shop for guidebooks and maps in physical or PDF form. An especial delight for you tech-savvy iPhone users is the NFT iPhone App, which already includes London…this shall prove a much cooler and more discreet means of consulting a map in the city streets in lieu of blatantly targeting yourself as a vulnerable tourist when fussing to refold your paper map like some intricate work of origami.

With NFT in hand, you’ll blend in with the locals in no time. And don’t forget, London Relocation Ltd. is here for you as an additional resource on all things London!
