Hi. I came from Belgium to live in London nearly 2 years ago. Although I had problems settling in, I now am very happy. I set up a bank account with IF, which was a pain at first as it is an internet bank and so has no physical branches. However, it was worth the effort. Moving money around online is so easy, and because online banks save money by not having branches, you get a higher rate of interest on your savings. So, to all those of you setting up bank accounts in the UK, I would recommend you open up an account with an internet bank.
