No I just checked again to be sure. UK is definitely not eligible

UK is excluded from the diversity lottery

I live in London and have visited Tokyo and New York. I agree with most of this post. If I was going to emigrate to a new city, it needs to be worth the hassle and opportunity cost. London is at best an equal or worse city than Tokyo, so it’s far off the desired standard that would be worth migrating to from Tokyo.

I would +1 the comments about nature. The public parks are too busy. The green neighborhood spaces people talk about are for private communities (people who bought houses 20+ years ago).

If nature was my concern, I’d prefer to live in Tokyo where you can bullet train to stunning hikes and even go skiing
