Hello parents,
I am not a parent (but planning on becoming one). My partner and I relocated in Stockholm after spending 8 years in London.
Here in Stockholm we have: fresh air, beautiful flats, cute parks, 1.5 year parental leave, free nursery and schools.
I am not Swedish and I felt more integrated in London. We miss our network and friends, work opportunities (we are both self-employed working in cultural fields), art, chatty people.
For a small one bedroom in central Stockholm we could have a 2-3 bedrooms house in London, zone 3-4.
I often come to mumsnet to look at properties location tips. I Came to the conclusion that Bromley and Sutton are the best corners. I like Brockley for a smaller flat.
I feel a bit lost as Stockholm looks like a tender little nest but it's actually very boring and people lack social skills.
All comments are welcome. Thanks :o)
