Oxford; 28 years (though limited experience gained from those between ages 0 and 13); beautiful city with a lot going on intellectually, and - for ethically-inclined rationalists - home to the Centre for Effective Altruism; terrible weather, high cost of living.

The weather is excellent if you like rain!

Small city, low crime, ample selection of intellectual events (in term time there will be tens of talks every evening), also FHI. Good commute to London. Very good for cycling.
