I was brought up in the provinces - well - Oxford to be precise.
So I'm not a Londoner by birth. My Dad is and he lives in London - and I have for the last couple of years and intermittently before that.
It's possible to hate London, but hard.
Things I love:
* The stunning variety of people. Cosmopolis in the heart of Britannia.
* Food - endless choice and all easily available.
* Lovely summer evenings in the parks with friends.
* Fireworks by the Thames at New Year.
* A constant stream of cultural happenings of all kinds that dazzles the brain if you focus.
Do you love London too?
AMA.
I live in East London. I prefer central London for it's beauty. Where I live is a bit scummy with occasional stabbings of teens. But the main city, awesome!

I'm in Bethnal Green and work in Mile End. Still love it!
What do you love most, the hyper-inflated house prices, the smell of exhaust fumes the moment you leave your front door or the depression-inducing light pollution?
haha central line is the line I use almost weekly xD
on my W/E I needed to travel to Liverpool Street on the central line and then change on to hammersmith/met/circle line to Euston Sq during rush hour, it was absolute hell
1. Right now, I think lots of places East are pretty good - especially around Hackney and Dalston areas - also I like the usual places that most people like, eg, the parks.
2. Edinburgh is fab. I love San Francisco, Berlin, Rome and Paris.
