Well thats what i think anyway..
Nowhere else has as much diversity, culture plus nightlife and restaurants are tip top.
Just recently i have been going more and more and seeing a lot of sights i havent seen before and going to some amazing places that for dinners and drinks that can beat anywhere i have been before.
just wanted to show some southern pride and say London is amazing

Been to all of them, Gaucho will cost around £100 for 2 people maybe with a bottle of wine but its all good food.

Willay speaks the truth.. Gaucho is awesome.
Also try Hawksmore, they get all their meat from the Ginger Pig
Angus Steakhouse is minging !!
Roka for Japanese.. tis awesome, bit pricey but for a special dinner you cant go wrong. Plus cocktails are mazing

last time I went to london for work I got a load of abuse / threatened by some knobhead drunk simply walking down a busy street. No-one around cared.
People are rude.
Things cost too much.
It smells of wee.

London is good because have you seen the fucking size of the place and the amount of our money that gets thrown at it!
Nice place, terrible people though

Never really seen the big fascination with London.
The amount of people when I was at school that claimed they would be moving there when they left was a joke.
Hope they've all fucked off there actually

Best city is Lincoln imo. Very little in the way of trouble, not quite overrun with immigrants yet, very picturesque at the top end of town.
I hate places like manc, liverpool, brum, london, leeds, nottingham etc as they are all shitholes full of foreigners and arrogant twats. The UK is pretty much a disgrace in the midlands. Down south near cornwall etc is about the only place id feel safe to bring up a child.

I love London but honest to god get yourself to Dublin, so much better! Its like a safer, friendlier and more compact version of London where practically every other building is a pub
