Should i move to London or Amsterdam? You decide

Im at the point in my life where I got a fork in the road leading in two directions. I have a choice to either go and work in London or Amsterdam.
Both got pro?s and con?s
Both cities got amazing nightlife, women and drugs. If I go and work in London I would have to start somewhere low such as bartender and then apply to better jobs later. Also I would have to be living off welfare when I get there for a while before I can get a bar job. London would be awesome I reckon, better yet if I manage to get a nice job.
Amsterdam on the other hand I can get employed straight away cos I got a buddy working there as a head chef in a restaurant and I got some chefing experience so he could take me on board straight away. The problem with Adam is most of all accommodation, does anyone know anything about how to find a house share in Amsterdam? I hear theres university so there must be students. Also I would need a bank account in a Dutch bank to get my wages.
So anyway, two choices with VERY different flavors. Where should I go?

move to another place than amsterdam, maybe something not far away from it: it's probably easier to find a place to live outside amsterdam and cheaper too!
other than that.. you already speak english, but you probably don't speak dutch, so that would be hard

the friends i have who have moved to london (mostly all for school) are all broke as fuck nowadays. granted, living in any major city is a lot more expensive than living in a small town, but london, oslo, and copenhagen are all a bit absurd.
that being said, it's probably worth it. unless you are planning on learning dutch, i'd say move to london, though..

Man, I voted for London. I've been to both cities, and think both are great, but I'd choose London for residence. But that's just me.

Dude, dont move to Amsterdam and only speak english. Thats so fuckin rude. If you are going to move to their country you should speak their language.
Same goes for london

Both cities are pretty awesome (been to both), but I think London would be a bit easier to live in. They'd both be expensive but I would guess that London is a little cheaper. London is a lot larger and busier but Amsterdam has the benefit of being able to walk or bike nearly anywhere within the city...and coffee shops of course.
Flights from London to Amsterdam are very cheap though, it wouldn't be too expensive to make the trip a couple times per year.
