(Picture: Handout)Living in London always felt a bit like a game of sardines to Abbie Lawson; with four flatmates (and just one bathroom) getting ready for work presented serious logistical challenges, and that was before the daily crush on the tube began.
Leaving London has given Abbie, 34, room to breathe and a far more affordable lifestyle. Although she misses London’s vibrancy and culture, she does not miss its long-hours working culture or regret her decision for an instant.
