Hi there,
Soon enough i will be an aussie export to come and give the uk a go. What i want to know is if people tend to group with their own nationalities there? What areas are there plenty of aussies etc.

[katethegreat]

I live in Acton which has big australian community - but the main aussie places in London seem to be earls court and shepherds bush. I don't know why, but the aussies seem to positively avoid us brits, and my female friends and I have had very frosty receptions from aussie girls in particular

i find nationalities tend to group together, i worked in a large hotel, the english, spanish, south african an polish staff all had their little gangs.

most cities have an australian bar, but you would benefit more if you mixed with other nationalities

...cool....I live in acton to...a lot of aussies here

[King of the midgets]

South London, there are more aussies than Londoners

i see what you say that it is a long way to come o hang out with aussies, i see your pint but to begin with it would make me comfortable to begin with as this is my first time travelling so far away... im very open to all nationalities but its really just to set up a comfort zone, hope you can understand

[exstatic]

You will find an aussie everywhere you go... we are everywhere.. sorta of takes the whole living in another country experience away... bloody aussies

[rai~]

Yes we do group together. It's almost unavoidable. In the end we all like to whinge about the weather, the customer service, the public transport, the expense of living...

You'll find kiwis and aussies outnumbering the 'locals' in the following north London areas: Dollis Hill, Willesden Green (big time), Golders Green (more kiwis and gradually more saffas there), West Hampstead (usually more extablished ones because it's a bit more pricy), Brent Cross.

In the south: Putney, Fulham, Wimbledon, Southfields ('saffa-fields'), Hammersmith, Acton, Ealing, Richmond (those who can afford it), and even as far south as the Claphams.

Just look do a keyword search under one of the accommodation subheadings for 'saffa' or 'kiwi' or 'aussie' and you will get the idea.

seems to me you will never really learn about a country if you just group together in your national or ethnic groups

I say Amen Englishman! Why travel all the way anyway ? And yes these natinal gatherings end up being a bitching and whining session about the UK being in the North.
