London, wonderful place!

Currently through west London now and I still cant get over how big this place is!

Do you live in London? Would you ever vist London? Have you visted London, if so what did you think of the city?

I'm from the South West of England. I only go London when i'm going to take a flight from Gatwick airport. I'm more of a country person me, but I go Nottingham City and Birmingham, not so much London. To be honest, the place scares me, very different mentality to the people over there to where I live. Here, i'm the weirdo, but overthere, i sort of fit in, and that's scary!

I suppose I wouldn't mind visiting but isn't it high crime and expensive?LJS9502_basic

Its a pretty interesting city, loads of things to do and see, although the weather is depressing (though this can also be applied to the rest of England) and everything is really expensive.

it does contain Lillywhites though, which is quite possibly the greatest shop in existance so I guess that raises my overall opinion of the city up a bit.

ive been to London before, pretty nice place as a tourist, but I wouldnt live there, the living expenses (especially housing) are very very high

Whatever you do dont go to Finsbury Park or Brixton :D

London is place to be if you are young/free and foreigner

I may visit...not live..

Been to London but its no better then Manchester (where I live). I would prefer to visit to places different where I live.

I loved the place, but it's the only city in the world where I've ever been mugged (in broad daylight, on a major street, no less).

Fortunately everything was so expensive there that I'd already spent most of my money the day before, and didn't lose much more than a train ticket.

Big city. Pretty lively. Easy to get around public transport. Not so easy by private transport. Generally overpriced. Lots of tourism/history. Lots of theatre. Quality but pricey shopping. Generally second rate pubs. Not the best weather. Rather dank and dark at times. Some areas are nice, others are drab and dreary. Single greatest improvement in past 20 years:traffic charge in city core. Wouldn't make my top 10 cities to live in. Might squeak into my top 10 cities to visit for a week.

For reference, I am from Canada and I have been to a lot of places in the world, over a number of decades.

Would visit, not live......its just not my scene, don't like the buildings, its probably due to my hatred of medeval looking things =D and the accents would get annoying.

I'd probably visit it for a few days, but I wouldn't want to be involved in any form of extended stay. I prefer the country side... with few people about.
