If you want to create something like London, then think on those lines.
To replicate various bits of London, I would suggest creating a sort of triangle or a square comprising of:- West London equivalent = Leeds
- East London equivalent = Bradford
- North London equivalent = North Yorkshire
- South London equivalent = South Manchester and Scunthorpe.
Central London = Hebden Bridge
Now all you cretins find a map and join those dots and tell us what you see.
