Yeah, its American centric and I'm guessing you can guess why.
FlyerTalk is the encyclopedia of forum information on all this stuff. Way too detailed and esoteric for many, but a wealth of information. There will be forums related to UK credit cards and which have the best offers, etc. and many other countries as well.
As far as loyalty clubs are concerned, thats not really nation-centric. I'd definitely join a bunch - for you Iberia and BAEC are no brainers (Iberia is a partner to BAEC and is often cheaper (no fuel surcharges) to get to North America, but you need points in your account for it to be considered open. Fortunately, BAEC allows you to transfer points to Iberia in 1000 point chunks, a very rare thing in the miles game (one airline letting you actually transfer miles, instead of booking whole itineraries).

Anything to recommend if I'm living in London? Most of this stuff seems to be American-centric. Thanks.

Strip away judeo-christian ethics ingraining sex is dirty/bad & the idea we're taking advantage of these girls disintegrates. Once you've lost that ethical quandary (which it isn't outside religion) then they've no reason to play the victim, you've no reason to feel the rogue. The interaction is to their benefit.
