An estimated 5.5m British people live permanently abroad – almost one in 10 of the UK population. Of those, 1.3 million Brits reside in Australia, (according to statistics from the BBC), representing the largest number in any one country. With still so much to factor in when moving, people often neglect the time that should be spent researching our new destination, so we’ve done a little of that for you…
…So what makes living in Sydney so worthwhile?
The nightlife
You will never be short of inspiration for places to spend your evenings in Sydney as things really heat up here when the sun goes down. Live music venues, Darling Harbour, Kings Cross, Oxford Street and the Rocks are just a few of the ‘hip and happening’ hangouts in the city.
For something a little more low-key, delightful restaurants and chillout bars are in plentiful supply too. Dine by the harbor, tuck in to a traditional Australian BBQ lunch or admire the views from a cool rooftop terrace – whatever you fancy, Sydney has it.
The lifestyle
Travelling from London to Sydney? Trust me, this city is very unlikely to let you down.
International migration has shaped the city in to the metropolis of culture it is today. When most people think of Australia, they think of Sydney and its two most widely-recognised tourist attractions – the Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. But there’s so many other way to spend your time here. Think weekends spent by the beach sipping a cocktail, shopping or simply admiring the views of the city at a restaurant or café.
The climate
If you’re travelling from Europe or the USA; the seasons are the exact opposite! Christmas is often spent on the beach while the traditional August ‘summer’ is instead Sydney’s winter. The warmest weather is generally experienced in the north-west, and the coldest in the Snowy Mountains All in all, there are no complaints about the weather in Sydney.
Understandably, moving overseas can be a daunting yet exciting time. With Sydney being one of the world’s most ‘liveable’ cities (I mean, why else would so many Brits live there?), you should feel a little more at ease at the thought of relocating. To help ensure your transition into the Sydney lifestyle is a smooth one, first make sure you get the best deals on flights from London to Sydney. There are also some fantastic airlines that fly from other major cities in the UK too.
