I have a dim memory of this comic strip from a couple of years ago, but my Google skills are failing me. I think it was about a young Finnish woman living in London (it was definitely in English, and the young woman looked Goth-like) but I can't find any mention of it.

It is a Norwegian strip, called Nemi, written by Lise Myhre. There's a fan site offers translations here <http://nemi.thtn.com/home.shtml>. I'm not sure where you can read the strips in English.

That's it! Brilliant, thank you :-)
Now you've given me the right name, I've been able to find out where I saw it - in "Metro" a free newspaper that's distributed in London. I'll pick up one tomorrow and see if it's still in it.

However, the free newspaper "Metro" publishes an English translation, which I found here: http://tinyurl.com/stu0
I don't know if this link is permanent or a week-by-week thing. If it changes, you can find Nemi by going to http://www.metro.co.uk/ then clicking on "Games & Puzzles", then scrolling down to "Nemi cartoons" near the bottom of the page.
I don't see any indication in these strips of Nemi's nationality or where her English-translated alter ego lives.
Turns out you can find all the old translated strips at http://www.metro.co.uk/img/pix/ (scroll down until you find the files starting "nemi...", obviously :-)
Apparently they translate "Oslo" to "London", which is a pity, but I suppose I can understand why!
