Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner that I love London so.

London, whilst expensive is affordable if you both have jobs. If one of you has a good job then it should be easily within your price range. Similar housing can be priced very differently in different areas so you have to hunt around a bit. Generally South and East are cheaper than North or West for example.

I'm not sure why getting a phone should be so hard. I'd have thought good credit history and a credit card would be enough.

In the last few weeks, I've been to a talk on Victorian Sexuality (given by the pornographer who wrote the flavour text for the Dying Earth rpg), seen early Kandisky at the Tate, my wife went to a Tarot conference and she's going to see the Scissor Sisters at a not so secret fancy dress only gig next month. And there are plenty of gamers.
