I'd have to give huge props to jobserve, Loot, and gumtree as mentioned earlier in this thread. Also, if you're coming over with some cash, I wouldn't worry too much. London's unemployment rate is effectively nil, and the finance industry is hiring IT staff at the moment (based on my own recent interview experiences). I arrived here 2 years ago from South Africa with some cash in hand and a ruck sack. Two weeks later, I had permanent accommodation and employment (unrelated) as a systems integrator (sysadmin/coder).
Hmm. Very odd list. One thing that stands out like a sore thumb is the inclusion of nearly every William Gibson novel. I mean, sure, if your mind is a slut ... Neuromancer was great (in context) but the other books, irrespective of quality, were pretty much variations on a theme IMHO, and as such, don't really stand alone as mind f*cks.
