Hey everyone!
I’m originally from Uttarakhand (Kumaon) and currently living in London.
Just curious if there are any fellow Pahadis, or people from Dehradun living in London or nearby. Would be nice to connect with people from back home, make some new friends, and maybe catch up over chai or food sometime.
If you’re around London, feel free to comment or DM. Would be great to connect! 🫡
Hi all
So I'm 28 and moving over from India in early September for work (Skilled Worker visa). Pretty excited but also a bit lost with the whole where-to-live thing, so thought I'd ask people who actually know the place.
My job's going to be mostly remote, I'd only need to go into central London maybe once or twice a month, not every day. So I'm not really tied to being close in for a commute, which opens things up a bit but also makes it harder to decide.
Right now I'm torn between two ideas. One is just getting a room in a house share somewhere in London, mainly because I'll be new here and don't know many people, so being around others sounds good for actually settling in and making friends. The other is St Neots, where I've got a former colleague, seems quieter and cheaper, but maybe a bit lonely turning up on my own?
Would really appreciate any thoughts on:
If you'd moved to a new country on your own and worked mostly from home, would you go for a livelier London house share or somewhere quieter like St Neots?
Any areas worth looking at (or staying away from) for someone youngish on a budget who wants a friendly, sociable vibe?
General tips for finding a decent flat or house share, best sites to use, what deposits to expect, anything you wish someone had told you before you started looking
Honestly any advice or even just your own story of moving over would mean a lot. Cheers!
Hey everyone,
I’m moving to London soon and will be in Dehradun this weekend. I need to get transcripts and a medium of instruction certificate from UTU for my visa.
If anyone has contacts there or knows how long it takes (or how to speed it up), please let me know.
