Help needed, please

[Russethouse]

I am staying with a friend in France  and their daughter has applied for a job in the UK, in London.

She doesn't know anything about the cost of living for a single girl in London or other things that it would be helpful to know, when she is asked about salary requirements for example.( and I am in the wrong age group to be knowledgable about it[:(])

Does anyone have a link for a forum for French people living the UK that may help please?

Here's one forum I found on Google - there seem to be quite a few

It used to be called the Agence Peggy I think and it was located somewhere on Leicester Square. Lots of help and advice for the French just arriving in London.

I remember that place too wooly - the Charles Pèguy centre near the tube station on Leicester Square.  I played there with my French band back in 1988.  We were later invited back there for what was probably one of the first 'raves' (my first and last!).  There was a gigantic parachute in the middle of the dancefloor and after you'd had a space cookie or whatever they were selling on the numerous stands you just slipped under it and smiled at people all swaying back and forth.  Very wierd.  I prefered getting my face painted and my astrology chart read to me[:)]  Probably weird too.......[:$]

Anyway.....I remember that a lot of the French people who found lodgings and jobs there ended up hanging out with French people all of the time and not learning much English.
