London is shocking price wise...I could never contemplate working there although I once did. I work in Belfast Northern Ireland, earn approx £57k, my spacious detached house with garden and tranquility 20 mins train commute from the office costs around £180K... So there is no financial way I would ever go to London...It seems crazy and illogical to me to work there.. nice place to visit however!


isn't it great that we have reached the times when we can put Belfast and tranquility in one sentence.


yeah, Belfast has been tranquil for a long time, some 20 years or more, the media perception always inflated the reality even in the bad old days..

the good thing is, that in the ensuing time, the city has become alot more vibrant, the youthful generation are now not as shackled with the past. Belfast feels fresh, and its a town with a great industrial and innovative past. Its about time!
