The "I love London" thread

[DimPrawn]

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.

summer in the city = fit birds in short skirts...

You mean London's underground up the escalator?

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
