Some other things which might be worth mentioning:
- The currency used here is Pounds.
- Check if you need a visa to work in the UK.
- Here, you usually talk about the annual gross salary (german: “Bruttojahresgehalt”).
- I always got the feeling that the job is very important. You’ll get asked everywhere, even in hospital. For me it looked as if people were especially friendly when you just had a good answer (reputable job). But for my experience people are generally very nice and like to help people.
- Shopping: You might find the exactly (!) same product in different shops, so don’t immediately buy the shower mat for 10£, but check first in other shops as well, you might be able to buy it for 2£ or even 1£ as well!
- Request a receipt when withdrawing money from an ATM.
- There’s the Facebook page Austrian Club London for Austrians in London.
- You might need an adapter as the electrical sockets look different in the UK than in most european countries. (But the voltage and frequency is the same.)
GB, UK, England
Great Britain is the island containing

Northern Ireland is on a separate island, but also belongs to the United Kingdom.
Ireland does NOT belong to the UK.
