I wouldn’t recommend the UK to anyone. It feels like it’s been coming apart at the seams for some time. People, business and government generally treat foreign people differently, and by foreign I mean just not like them. The food isn’t as bad as others make out IMO but mainly because of the foreign influence. English people at least are culturally more reserved and not as warm as or welcoming as most other countries I’ve been to. The weather is awful most of the time and there’s an increasing disrespect for laws, rules and taxes and no perceived effort for local authorities and government to correct it. There are probably many more work opportunities here but mainly London based and the wages are ok and taxes on the lower side compared to most of Europe. Where you are in your life will obviously have a big influence on what’s important to you but if I were to leave I think Lisbon or somewhere in Italy within reach of high mountains and sea but not too far from amenities. You’ll get great weather, food and a rich culture and generally speaking warm people.
