After I graduated I moved there (from the South West), and yes I would say it's worth it. Although I left London after three years (it's not really my thing either), the experience and networking I gained have paid off. I have a friend who stayed in his home town, he is doing similar work to me, and gets paid around 60% what I get - which is a good wage for that area. Even without the salary, I feel that I've had the opportunity to work in more interesting jobs as well.
