Possibly moving to London

[doccol91]

I have the chance to move to London to start up my firm's London office. I am trying to get some information on a couple of topics, any help will be greatly appreciated:

1. Cost of living differential between London and New York
2. Neighborhoods (I am looking for the London equivalent of Manhattan's West Village, Tribeca or Brooklyn Heights--good neighborhoods with good schools that are not too stuffy. Should also not be a horrible commute from the City)
3. Private Schools for girls

Again, any information, especially from our London-based forum participants, would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
