If you want your child to have British Citizenship - make sure the child is born in the UK.
Please note that Northern Ireland will be better as the child will get Irish citizenship too.
Northern Ireland
Sounds a very good idea never thought about it, how're the hospitals there? only think of living in London
NHS hospitals are okay - as a British Citizen, you are entitle to free NHS health care as soon as you enter the UK. If both of you (兩公婆) are British Citizens, going to give birth in Northern Ireland will be free in NHS hospitals. Please note that British Citizens will need to meet a habitual residence test before getting any welfare benefits from the government.
The child will be a British Citizen as well as Irish citizen if he/she was born in Northern Ireland as long as one of you is a British Citizen at the time of the baby's birth. Having Irish citizenship means that the child can live and work in Europe as well.
Starting a new life in the UK is a big move. You and your wife may want to come for a visit before making the decision. What kind of jobs you have in mind? You can apply for a British passport in Hong Kong using the link below -

Thanks so much! The information is very useful!
We both have uk passport, how many years we need to live in UK before we could enjoy the benefit of giving birth in hospital free of charge?
Yes that'd be a big move definitely, we have only been to London and Edinburgh couple of times for leisure trips before, we love the cities but it may probably feel very different when long-staying there.
I'm a financial analyst in a whisky company currently and my wife is a trade marketing manager, I believe I should be able to get a job with ACCA and master degree, not too sure how is the job market at UK, so I wish some day I could internal transfer from Hong Kong office to London office, needa test my luck LOL
As a British Citizen, you and your wife will enjoy free NHS health care (including giving birth) as soon as you are in the UK.
There is always a demand for Cantonese and Mandarin speaking accountants in the UK as there is a large number of Chinese restaurant businesses here.
If you work for a whiskey company, any chance of a transfer to another post with the same company in the UK?
