London is the creative and cultural epicentre of the world.

If you think it’s tough in NYC, you will find the landscape in London hyper-competitive to the point of desolate. And without a vast network to rely on, no visa or sponsorship, no right-to-work or even right-to-rent, no NI and no innate understanding of the cultural landscape, you will quickly find you’re a much smaller fish in a much bigger pond than you thought.

Or

in elevator terms

Very bleak. If you're coming here for the work then you have to get into one of the top 3 / 5 agencies otherwise there's no point. If you're coming for the life experience then obviously go wherever but the work will be poor on the whole.

If you and your partner are white males then you will struggle. That's not my point of view, that's what recruiters will tell you. Sad but true.
Perhaps because you're American it will ease that a little bit but agencies do tell recruiters not to send them any white male teams.
