My daughter has just moved to New Zealand, her flight had connections at Dubai and Sydney.

It's a nice place to live day to day, and the location combined with the airport hub thing makes it great jumping-off point for seeing a good chunk of the world. I've visited more countries in the last 3 years than I had in my entire life before that- in the last year and a bit we've been to India twice, Japan, Italy, Ukraine and we'all be in Egypt in March. Not to mention Oman and Kuwait for work (less fun but good "stuff to tell the grandkids" stuff). We simply couldn't have done that from the UK.
We have a flat we love within a 10 minute commute of work. That's all but impossible in London.
