good evening.

me and my wife are moving to uxbridge this march, and we will like to prepare ourself before coming to your wonderful city.
if you can give us some advice and answer a few questions that will help us a lot.

- do you know how much will it cost to rent a studio flat (including bills, council tax, etc?) as we have looked in the gumtree website and most of the ads are £700 without council tax. is that a fare price? and how much will the council tax be? £700pcm is about right I am afraid. As for Council tax look here http://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/63 ... -tax-bands
- do you have any suggestion about where to look for an apartment? (web site? agencies..) Rightmove or Gibbs Gillespie
- is there a good transportation from uxbridge to heathrow? public transport? No and is it possible to get to heathrow by bicycle? If you want to get to the north or central Heathrow it's not too bad, T5 a trek and T4 is a long way around the windy perimeter
- is there any vegetable\fish\food market in uxbridge or near by? if not - where would you recommend to buy fresh ingredients? Sadly, only really big supermarkets
- is there any good public library where we can take books? Yes, the main Hillingdon library is in Uxbridge High St
- do you have a sport center where we can sign up for some courses, such as basket ball or volleyball? or do you have a good gym with swimming pool? Try this http://www.fusion-lifestyle.com/centres ... re_Complex
- is there a good cinema in uxbridge? There is an Odeon muliplex . http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/film_times/s137/ I am not sure how good it is as I usually go the London to a proper Cinema

thank you for all responses

Virgin gymn at Stockley Park seems popular.
