As someone who has always lived in 'down sarf', if I was to go up North (to Leeds)

Men in flat caps walking whippets.

Women in very short skirts. Some of them truly lovely.

Rain.

Leeds is happening if you like nightlife. The surrounding areas are terrible though unless you head north towards Adel, Shadwell, Harrogate, Wetherby in which case it gets a whole lot better.

Contract rates are still depressed though and opportunities aren't what they were 4 years ago (naturally) but there are signs of improvement.

What you will get is warm friendly people and you'll get a proper curry and premium lager for less than a fiver (a lot less). Weather isn't as good as down here but with what you save on house prices you can just buy a holiday home in the sun (which is what I did).
