I understand how you feel, this is why I never moved to London.. I could have had a better career with a much better income, but i could never handle living in that concrete jungle.. it goes on for miles, at least here in Edinburgh there are some big parks nearby that helps you with the claustrophobia .. and you can get out of the city pretty quickly.
I would love some land to call my own...
I bet London is extremely expensive to live in also! Edinburgh seems so lovely and kinda homey even if it is a big city, I really need to come visit some time!
Oh yeah, London is crazy expensive.. they charge rent per week instead of month to make it seem less expensive .. but in reality you pay per week there for a one bedroom flat what you would pay per month for a two bedroom in Edinburgh.. it ridiculous.
You should visit! And when you do, you'll have a local guide :) All it will cost you is a cocktail ;) lol
