I am German and co-founded a start-up in berlin. After it failed, one of my co-founders and me tried again - this time in London. Boy, what a difference.

Seed funding, tech talent, tax situation, and lawyers to help you start your company - all on a better level. Yes, living was more expensive, but we actually enjoyed that - it put pressure on us and everyone working with us.

We had a highly successful exit in less than a year.
