Contracting in London

[The Spartan]

If you enjoy a decent pint don’t bother. Spent 3 years there drinking nats piss.

Fortunately I never got into the habit of drinking, I'm more a soft drink guy

Then you were drinking in the wrong places.

The beer has improved remarkably in the last 3 years.

It mostly seemed to be that London Pride, , when I worked there in the early/mid 90’s but you’re probably right.
Otherwise living in London was a great experience.

Hotels will be expensive in London come July because of the Olympics, if you can find any available

This is the thing that probably worries me most

I walked past a pub in/near Covent Garden with loads of flowers outside, hanging baskets and the like. It looked familiar - maybe from a CAMRA review? - but I can't remember the name. Anyone have a clue what it's called?

I think it was green. HTH.

Hi Everyone

I have an interview on Thursday for a position down in London, I'd be interested to peoples experiences of contracting down this way. Honest feedback very welcome I want to know what I might be letting myself in for.

Its great here. We have things like electricity and street lamps, and when you have a pooh instead of having to go out into a field in all weather conditions and poke it into the mud with a stick and pour Dettol on it, you just pull a lever and it suddenly becomes someone else's problem.

WOW it's sounds like such a magical land, then how can it be based in England lol

Moved here for a gig in 1989.

Still here.

Still moaning.

Contracting in London is excellent - it's where most of the roles are (esp. the higher paid ones.)

Housing (both purchase & rental) is very expensive.

Commuting is a nightmare, they tell me. I don't know, as I use a motorbike.

Not the Harp by any chance? ( NF's favourite pub).

Never had a problem with working in London and found quite a few pubs with good beer.
