i feel like there's this portrayal of london in the media, to foreigners, that london is this edgy/trendy area; but if you look twice you can see it's all lies. it's not an edgy town and we're definitely not trend setters if anything we're trend followers; the city is crammed, terrible weather, polluted air, chavs etc.

as a supposed "londoner" i think london's a sh*thole and would do anything to move to a tropical place like hawaii or california. what do you think?

Well I went to London in 2009 and it wasn't as pretty as I expected it to be TBH. Some streets were really dirty etc.

exactly it's overrated and a pretty nasty place to live in. i would rather live in a suburban.

I have family in London and go all the time. I love the weather (sunny 24/7 is so overrated :bilbio and I love the people and the attitude. There are so many beautiful, gothic buildings that I love seeing when I go.

I would def live in London later in life if I wanted a change of scenery.

Yes, London is hugely overrated sadly. One thing I love about it though is that it is super multicultural.

When you look with your eyes, everything seems nice, but if you look twice, you can see it's all lies.

Seems cool, but NYC >>

I go to London to visit friends annualy but a week is my maximum I can handle in this city. Sorry to all inhabitants but it's so dirty, polluted and overcrowded. It has many great places tho, but as I said a few days and I dream of going back to my seaside city.

Nope, Paris is magical, i spent 3 weeks there in my entire life and Wow, one of the few city in the world that's not defaced by recentness, beautiful place. The only problem here is the language.


About London ..., I love it, the city has nothing historical, and geographically the city is a mess, skyscraper are built all over the place which is quite ugly but the city is so multicultural and the night are crazy, there's always something to do. I can't explain the feeling.

Well it depends where you go! If your go to Westminster, Chelsea , Kensington, Oxford Street ect then it's beautiful but like there's obviously going to be poor areas like Lambeth, Croydon and Hackney
I live in Kingston upon Thames and I think London is the most beautiful city in the world. paris is so same old same old, nothing new

It's like New York then. Whoever asks me if New York is heaven on earth I'm like lol no.

No, I love London. I'm going back in February.

Okay, London, touchy subject for me.

First of all, I was expecting pea soupers, paper boys on the corner, hansom cabs, red double deckers, street urchins in workhouses, the Royal Navy (I was hoping to see a press gang), coal-fired factories working 24 hours a day, people making merry in the streets, the market place with merchants crying "here pertaters! Kearots and turnups! Fine brockell-o-o-o!"


This is what I expected from it, and it wasn't there it seemed like any other modern city tbh.

Basically everything I've read or watched about it is a complete and utter lie.
