I voted leave because I do not believe in big central government making decisions on behalf of people with whom they have no connection.
London will be a great financial city, even greater after Brexit.
People will still be wanting to come to these shores for work and for living a better life. In fact if anything, I bet the freedom from the EU will be a catalyst for many more to come.
The long terms is what matters
As for our children, I am sure Brexit will save them the burden of debt from countries such as Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and anyone else whose economy hits rock bottom in the EU. Again, wait and see.
As for the EU funds going to places like Wales, where do you think the money came from in the first place? Does the EU have a money tree? No, the EU gets far more than that from the UK and then distributes it, having wasted much of it on pencil pushers and fat-cat bureaucrats.
Come on, some basic knowledge of economics please. posting links to the leftist Guardian is not good enough.

As said, not that I care too much about Brexit as it doesn't affect me and if a country that lives off the tertiary sector thinks that it's a great idea to get rid of an economic union that provides the country with loads of jobs because of that, then I say Godspeed and good luck, please leave! But all of the stuff you mentioned is simply not true and not part of the real world. The best case scenario for the UK would be if they come up with bilateral agreements with EU countries that give them the same benefits as now without the bad parts of bureaucracy and what not. But the question is, why would anyone in the EU feel like doing this?
