How To Move To The UK: A Comprehensive Guide From An Expat Kindle Edition

by John Howard (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 44 ratings
See all formats and editions
If you are considering a move to the UK or have already decided to move to the UK, this is the book for you. It was written by an expat who learned everything the hard way. You can learn from his experiences (most importantly, his failures) so you can spare yourself the same pain and suffering.

The book explores many of the major and minor differences between American culture and the culture in the United Kingdom. The differences are bigger than you'd expect! For example, "efficiency" is not a thing that the Brits embrace. Whenever there is an opportunity to create red tape, they take that opportunity and run with it. Knowing how to navigate the bureaucracy is immensely helpful for anyone who is working on a move to the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom is a big place, and many people who move there from overseas find themselves in London or close to London when they arrive. London is a world-class city and there are some great tips and tricks in this book to help the newbies get settled without too much fanfare.

The tone is light and it's an easy read. The humor helps, too. If you are looking for a comprehensive guide on relocation to the UK, this is it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and to the point, accurate.

Shortish, yet accurate and to the point. The author doesn't sugar coat the challenges, yet left me feeling positive about jumping the pond. 20 years ago my husband and I moved here for a year on a work sabbatical; we had little money, no car and the time of our lives. Knew that eventually we'd return.

Short, easy to read, to the point, informative, funny. I wish I had some books like this to read before I moved abroad the first time! Reading stories from people who have actually done it is worth a ton!

4.0 out of 5 stars An abridged version of moving to the UK

This guy has condensed a lot of the information I had already read in other travel and expat guides, plus a bunch of things I wasn't aware of. Definitely worth reading of you're starting your research or as a supplement to what you already have.

This guide was written in 2017. I wish I had known before I bought it. If you know absolutely nothing about the UK and don't like to read, this is the book for you! It's a very short read. Some helpful stuff if you didn't know about UK electrics, TV license, banking.

5.0 out of 5 stars A plethora of information, minus the anxiety (kind of)
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2018
I am proudly, and very literally one of those "weirdos moving to the Scottish Highlands from the Deep South" he talks about in the first few pages. And despite this book proving just how unprepared I am, it was SO helpful and answered many questions without overloading you with information. This book was a GREAT starting point. I suggest writing many notes, letting it sink in, then get to work. Moving abroad is never easy, but reading this finally gave me stepping stones & an idea of what to expect--especially when specifically moving to the UK.
