Whatever anyone's reason for coming to stay in Britain - for a few months or for the foreseeable future, as a student or on a fixed contract - moving and settling in is hard work. Not only are there the practicalities of finding accommodation, organizing finances, sorting out education and tax and finding employment to think about, but also the need to deal with the idiosyncracies of British bureaucracy, culture and character. Based on the experience of a life-long traveller/journalist and full of detailed guidance, this book is intended to help make a stay in this country a trouble-free and rewarding one. As well as up-to-date information on accommodation, communications, health, business, insurance and other practical matters, it offers advice on leisure activities, places to visit, things to do and eating out around the country.
