.. the office was not located in London but close by. We decided to move into middle of London, not knowing much of the boroughs and what would they be to live in. Hyde Park was well known park in the middle of the town, so we picked the south side of it and were lucky to find a decent one bedroom flat from South Kensington. It turned to be a great location to live.
I travelled two hours every morning to the office using two different tube lines and a train, and enjoyed every minute of it for two years. I was not used to spend four hours a day for travelling between home and the office; in Tampere in took 20min by bike! But, the whole enviroment - or should I say ecosystem- was so much different and overwhelmingly enjoyable that not even the rush hour tube chaos could have ruined it, honestly. I felt learning something new every day for a period of one year and only after that I did not feel as turist anymore, or not so much at least. The second year in Kensington was maybe even better as then you didnt have to concentrate on every single basic things, but had a chance to expand the experience even further...
... and concentrate more on working :), which was pretty fine also. I must say that the fag breaks were confusing sometimes as I did not understand all the stories told by my colleagues; they were coming various parts of britain and when the Irish Benny spoke, I wonder what he actually was saying and by the time I got it, they were already moved to another story: never had a chance to laugh together with them, I was always late :)...
