Milton Keynes xscape is an indoor ski slope near london, and there should be some dry slopes on carpet quite near also
for real slopes, use easyjet or ryanair and fly up to scotland (inverness or aberdeen). From there there are 5 real snow resorts you can get to, but snow and weather conditions may vary. To see up to date snow conditions and photographs, look at www.winterhighland.com

nabiki, you can get a train to Milton Keynes from London. It takes less than 1 hour...

The trains go from Euston Station.

nabiki, you can get a bus from the train station to Xscape - it's only about 5 minutes.

nabiki, http://www.snowdome.co.uk/ is the Tamworth Snowdome, which is north of Birmingham. Same idea as Xscape only about twice as far, and a horrible journey from London.
Have you also thought about dry slopes? As a midlander i have no idea where they are in London, but there must be one somewhere in "The Smoke". It'll be cheaper than Xscape as well.
As for real resorts, what about the train to Bourg St Maurice, and then pick a resort from there?

They are both about 30 minutes by train from the city. Luton is between London and Milton Keynes

2) Is somebody living in Milton Keynes? What about the city? Its beautiful? is it wothj to go there for living just for xscape? :S:S my first option is London city, but I know its very expensive... and if I have to move 3 times a week (more or less) to milton just for xscape... i dont know what to do.

Milton Keynes is one of the most ugly, dull, boring cities in the world. I live about 30km from it. That's about as close as you want to get.
