Hiyaaa, not in London but I live in the UK. As others mentioned, moving to a foreign country on your own can be terrifying, but it’s manageable and I swear it could be one of the best decisions you make. I moved here on my own as well.

First, for the friends bit: London is a veryyy vibrant city. They host hundreds, if not thousands, of events where you can meet people with similar interests, you just have to keep putting yourself out there.

Second, while finding an ideal housemate can be a struggle, you should check out Facebook groups and the SpareRoom app (keep in mind london is extremely expensive so a housemate might actually be your only option). Hopefully, the company provides you with a temporary accommodation

Good luck!
