According to The Southern Cross Group, 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.
