This is what happened with me a few years back. Was there nearly ten years. Five years in I would have laughed in your face at the idea of leaving, but the expense, the cramped conditions and crowded feel, the bad air... all eventually got to me.

I now live an hour and a half away by train. It's nice here. And I can still come to visit some of my friends in London quicker than they can visit each other.
