I got out too, for very similar reasons plus a few additional ones. London and the UK is pretty much not worth staying in currently and neither is most of Europe. Personally, despite it's 'failings', the US makes sense but I'd be tempted to recommend Canada first then the US as close second.

I got out of London and escaped to Canada.
As the author notes one of the worst things about London is the way so many drink the cool aid.
For me The Daily Mash really sums it up best:
