At the end of the month I will be moving to London, England.

I am looking for a place to live in West London. I'm thinking about the areas of Brentford, Chiswick, Ealing, Kew, and Acton. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on these areas?

I'm also going to be looking for a job. A work visa is not an issue, but I know the economic situation isn't the greatest over there. I am hoping to continue my career but will be happy to take any kind of job. I would like to work in a pub if possible.

I am planning on laying fairly low for the first few months and take advantage of the attractions within the city and survive the olympics. Once I get settled and more established I am hoping to do some traveling throughout Europe. Does anyone have suggestions for things to do that are reasonably priced in Greater London and the UK in general?

I appreciate any input and ideas, thanks.
