London has a particularly strong hospitality market, although living costs and rents are among the highest in the country. UK culture is diverse and generally values politeness, punctuality, personal space and direct but courteous communication. Outside work, residents can enjoy theatres, museums, music, historic towns, countryside and excellent rail connections across Great Britain. The UK has a temperate climate with changeable weather. People who are not British or Irish citizens normally need immigration permission before working. A visitor visa does not permit employment; eligible workers may require a Skilled Worker visa, while other routes include family, student or Youth Mobility visas.
