According to <a href="http://www.southern-cross-group.org/">The Southern Cross Group</a>, there are 200,000 Australians living in London. As you might expect, that means you'll hear the distinctive accent around the place a lot.

Most of that number would be young Australians on Working Holidaymaker Visas, a reciprocal arrangement allowing under-30s Australians to live and work in the UK for two years.

Traditionally the areas of [[Locale Earl's Court|Earl's Court]], [[Locale Shepherd's Bush|Shepherd's Bush]], [[Locale Willesden|Willesden]] and [[Locale Acton|Acton]] have had lots of Australians, mainly due to their cheaper rents and central locations. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068173/">The Adventures of Barry McKenzie</a> was set in 1970s Earl's Court.
