The United Kingdom offers wide employment opportunities in healthcare, technology, finance, education, engineering and public services. Its culture is diverse and generally informal, with strong respect for privacy, punctuality and professional standards. The lifestyle varies from busy, expensive cities such as London to quieter towns and rural areas. Public transport is extensive, although housing and commuting costs in Islington and wider London are high.
