I moved from Edmonton, North London to west Yorkshire many moons ago, stopped going to London when all the oldsters had passed. I go to both York and Leeds regularly, couldn't live in Leeds, as a country boy now it's too busy and fizzing for me, York I could manage, if your heart is up here, could you not have a short break in York and check out the "scene" ? Apologies if I'm telling you how to sucks eggs. Best of luck with your decision fella.
