Are you having a laugh?I suggest you don't just land in the UK or even Brentford just cos you've taken a shine to its advertising slogan unless you are degree educated and have already secured employment or already have loads of money to live on before leaving your homeland.  Trying to find employment in this area is extremely difficult even on minimum wages - and if you are on minimum wage then there is a huge disparage between day-to-day living especially in renting property in this area.  West London is and always has been a very expensive area to live in.  Just remember the streets of London are NOT paved in gold and the grass is NOT always greener on the other side. Air quality is poor.  There are a lot of major routes in this area - from the airport through to central London.  And you’re more than likely to get parking tickets costing hundreds of pounds if you contravene any one of the myriad of parking laws. You can NOT drink the river water.  Nor can you bathe or swim or do any other toilet functions in the river.  In this country you pay for water.  Water is NOT free.  Nor can you just roll up and pitch a tent on any bit of ground.  Either the police etc. will just move you on or if you're really unlucky someone will set fire to your tent, you and/or all your belongings.  You have to pay money to rent a property in this area. You have to pay for everything in this country.  Nothing is free. As to local ladies - this is where I think you're bordering on the most foolish - I doubt many girls would touch an EE with a barge-pole - but you have to come to terms with what is actually 'local' in this area.  Brentford is home to people from Caribbean, Nigeria, Ghana, Somalia, Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Poland, Scotland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Irish Travellers, ex-Yugoslavia, Iran and, of course, England to name but a few and each and every one of them pays their rent or owns property and pays for their water, sewerage, rubbish removal, electricity, gas, etc.  They don't get anything for free.  England is a very expensive place to live.  So by the time some Romania bowls up, whether in this area or any other area in the UK they won't be anything special.  And don't forget we've had some Roma in this country for several years and in the broader picture they're despised because they're all seen as thieves, con-artists, etc.  So I doubt there are that many local ladies who'd entertain just cos you're new to the area.  We've seen it all before.  Wave after wave of immigration.  And don't forget when UK leaves EU you'll probably just have to go back to your own country unless you have a good, permanent, steady job.Of course, there are always people who'll use newcomers for their own gain. I suggest you look at things like basic wages and cost of living like the cost of renting property in this area as well as the cost of other things like council tax on the internet before leaving your homeland for pastures new.
