Not sure if it’s the case for everyone but my BRP arrived before I even landed in the UK (the week after I got my visa) and my GP registration/NHS number took 3 days

I have read in forums that GP registration timeline is highly variable and dependent on the GP itself. 1 week to 6 weeks these days.
Q: If I have private healthcare from employer, what is the role of GP in the process? Trying to gauge if I need to visit them and as such I should only register with a nearby one?

There’s never a perfect time to move. Last year because of no vaccines and lack of medical treatment we were in lockdown. Now we have boosters available , over the counter drugs so IMO another lockdown should not happen and the wfh guidance is already in place
In terms of finding houses, even during lockdown times we were allowed to go and view houses
The only downside I see is that January is cold so weather/early sunrise .
Moving is hard but you might as well do it now rather than wait few months . Who knows maybe there’s another ‘variant’ which will evade vaccines 🤨
Did you just insinuate that we couod see the sun at some point in London?

I'm sorry OP but I don't know where you're getting your information from. UK is doing booster shots for everyone, you just book or walk in (over 28ths book, under can still do walk ins) and of course the other 1st and 2nd dose are available for anyone, can get it tomorrow. Hospitals are not full, there's much less hospitalisation as most people are vaccinated.
I think you can ask people about their experience in London with covid and what is happening but maybe don't assume. Just because what some random media says and the truth is very different in general. If I were to do the same I'd say India has had a horrible battle with covid with huge lockdowns, and many dead people. But then I realise it is a big country and I only know small things I've seen from random articles.
England's vaccination rate is 70.1% (I'm pretty sure London has an even higher one). India has a 37.5% rate. These are just statistics of of Our World In Data. I'm sorry but I really don't get how do you think vaccines here are not readily available.
I get that you might have seen a bunch of stuff online that shows panic when it comes to the UK. My family have stopped asking me 'dumb' questions (is it true you have nothing to eat and you're all dying) when they realised how manipulated the media is because everyone tries to paint the UK in a bad light. In general every country is doing this so they look better in the eyes of their people (in UK they mostly report on other countries' extreme lockdowns or covid passes). Just look at the stats and ask people how things are on the ground. Much more reliable information trust me
