Kids
For most people, London is a sh1te place to bring up kids. It has heavy traffic, inner-city schools, dodgy people, pollution, and a shortage of open spaces.

Well, if it's with people it involves pubs and restaurants. I tend to go to the pictures and theatres by myself.
I do have a life here...

The food and the social life mainly.
I'm living aound Covent Garden - Tottenham Court road. I've got Soho to eat in (it's gone upmarket...). And all the theatres. Saw Patrick Stewart in A Christmas Carol a couple of weeks ago. Fantastic.

ooh, tricky. If it was for 1st Jan and Geneva/Vevey, Switzerland and weekend skiing would win by a whisker.
Otherwise I'm quite smitten by London at the mo'.
(Didn't you know about the mugging? Me and some woman in a tug of war over my handbag.
I bit the bitch in the end and won....

Actually if I remember cojey, you were working in Switzerland. If a strange man in dirty raincoat were to offer you a contract in Switzerland tomorrow, would you go? or just order another martini?

Must admit, I'm working in London and loving it (except when I got mugged, of course).
Becky's right - London is the only place I've found where people pile into the pub opposite after work.
