    I love London because....

    ...it makes me feel big and clever when I pay £500,000 for a bedsit, £5 for a cup of tea, sit in traffic for 3 hours to travel 2 miles, and then get stabbed in the neck by the local druggies on my way home from work.

          There's a Flickr group dedicated to candid photos featuring London girls on escalators in the summer.

            I get undersold at the fishmarket by a bunch of wannabe TV personalities trying to impress some rich b'stard with their total and utter lack of knowledge about the price of fish.

                I love London because:
                • I have many friends here
                • There's lots to do - an overwhelming choice, in fact
                • It's a hive of activity
                • It changes all the time
                • The best gigs are here
                • There's loads of options, workwise
                • You earn more - and if you're smart - you don't necessarily pay much more than living in other cities
                • It's a travel hub, no seriously long treks to the airport
                • All the major shops, national and specialist, are here
