Do you like London?

It's okay to visit but i'm unsure if i could live there. However, there are many things that i hate about the place...the people are so rude it's actually quite astonishing (having discussed this with mates form london, i have come to the conclusion that u need to be from outside the city to truly appreciate this, where i'm from strangers regularly smile at each other in public and we arent all scared of each other). Also, i hate how insular the place is, most people i've met from the place have never left the place more than a handful of times and i notice this leads to an arrogance, it's also 85% slum as well. but a nice place to go as a toursit if u avoid 99% of the city and dont smile at anybody on the tube

I'm inclined to say that if you don't like London, you simply just don't understand it

What crap. Another Londoenr who thinks that England is London and there is nothng outside London. ' We is from London '

Don't put misspelled words in my mouth, friend. That's not what I think at all.

I'm well aware that there is plenty outside of London, most of the people I know in London aren't even from London.

I'm just saying that, chances are if you claim not to like London, you just don't know it well enough.

So people aren't even allowed to not like London!

Are you reading anything I'm saying?

Sure you're allowed not to like London, but most people who claim to hate it so much barely even know what its like outside of central London and the West End and what they hear on TV.

London's such a huge and great place that it really has a place for anyone, and if you give it enough of a chance it grows on you despite all the negatives you might see from day to day.

Of course other cities have this too, but most other cities I've been to (admittedly not many) have a lot more of an obvious charm, whereas London has to be learned and understood in order to become acclimatised to.

Stop freaking out every time I say something.
