Do you mean are there any Latin Americans here on the forum, or are there Latin Americans in London?   If it is the later, then yes, they most certainly are.   There's event a special meetup group I just found by doing a quick google:  http://www.uklatinamericanevents.com/

My husband is British.  I am the American, but living in England for almost a year now.   Neither of us are Latin American though - I just googled to help you out :)

I like it very much, but yes, of course I miss my family and friends.  No family has visited yet, but I have had two visits from friends which have been wonderful.   I dont think I can say if I prefer the US or the UK as they are so different and both have much different things to offer.  I dont think it does any ex-pat any good to compare them side-by-side really.

Now that I live here (I'm in Surrey), I dont really call it "sight-seeing", but I have been around to many places and explored quite a bit, mostly in the South of England. 

You didn't ask, but my only advice to the US side of your relationship is to not take other people's experiences as anything more than THEIR experiences.  I think people sometimes assume things will happen, or they will feel a certain way or experience a certain thing because they have heard others in the same situation experience, feel or react a certain way and in my opinion, you do yourself a disservice if you go into moving to another country with expectations based too much how it was for others. 
Both of you should be as open as possible to your OWN experiences and realize it may likely not be exactly as you think it will be or should be or was for others. 

Good luck to both of you on your journey!

Just wanted to say that my English coworker married a beautiful Peruvian woman and they live here in Newcastle. So far, she seems to be enjoying herself and settling in fine, though having a bit of trouble finding work because English is her second language and she needs to refine her language skills a bit (not that this would be an issue for you!) The cold weather was a bit hard on her at first because she was used to very hot temperatures, but she must be settling in because last weekend she was complaining that it was too hot here!  :o ;D

I'm Filipino American, from San Diego, CA. I speak reasonable Spanish-mainly picked up from former friends and co workers. I helped some guests at the hotel that were from Spain a couple of days ago. I miss my family and friends like no other. And of course, the food too. :D Hola y ¡Bienvenido!

There will be a Taco Bell opening at Lakeside (in Essex) soon-ish, there is a Hooters in Nottingham, but no Red Lobster or Popeyes (they have a few in Italy, suprisingly) and definetely no Checkers or Pollo Tropical.

Hello, moeshabones! Yeah, heard about the Taco Bell, too. Doesn't really fill me with joy, tbh. As other posters have said, I don't want things to get overly commercial here in the UK like they were in the States. There definitely aren't any Hooters, Red Lobster or Popeye's where I live, which is up in the North west. The chain restaurants from the States that I know of in our area/town centre are McDonald's, Subway and KFC.

Hey girl!! Mexican-American here. Originally from Kansas City, married a Brit and in London now! Think I've met one other Mexican guy here and he's been here since he was small so has a real proper English accent which is just hilarious! Anyhow, I'd love to meet more Latinos here, give us a shout! xx
