London itself is a brand name. It is the number 1 global city that has a glorious history and rich cultural heritage. It is the number 1 global financial centre along with Ney York city. A global leader in fashion and shopping London is one of the most visited place in the world. Have you been to London? What is your opinion of London?

I was raised in London but have also seen it from a tourists point of view. London is appealing to the rest of the world because of all the things tourists see. Basically the centre of London and sure, if you can afford to live there its a nice place. But speaking from the point of view of a person who has been raised there and lived there, I wouldn't really recommend it. Its noisy, dangerous, dirty, really expensive and England isn't doing to well economically either, lots of unemployment. It was getting bad when I lived there and its been getting worse. But London is my childhood and because of that I'll always have a sentiment to it and can't hate it, its just that logically speaking its not the best place to live.
Overall, the way I see it London is a great tourist destination, and to really get everything out of it you'd either have to spend a month there or visit multiple times. But if you're thinking of a place to live I can think of a lot of other European cities I'd like to reside.
