Is your visa still valid? If so, move to London anyways. You've already quit your job and sold your stuff. Chances are if you qualified for Google, you'll find work there. In for a penny, in for a pound, as the Brits say.

I've heard several stories about companies rescinding offers in a timeframe where it's obvious the candidate would have already made irreversible decisions. Funny thing is that the same HR people will tell their own stories about candidates backing out with huge eyerolls, distain, etc. I suppose the more common it becomes, the less the "offer" process will mean in practice.

I worked at Google for 0 days. There. Fixed that for you.
Not sure why you've been downvoted so much as it's the brutal truth. The author cannot put "worked at Google" on their CV.

What's wrong with a termination fee, as already exists in many contracts?
