Love or loathe? In strictly marmite terms of course.

I'd like to love it, it's one of the most fantastic, historical cities on Earth. At the moment, it's a bit of a Sh!t hole.

I mean I don't hate it so had to pick the other option, but it's honestly a headache if you're there for more than a day... but that depends where you are, I guess.
Pros: - tons to do - some pretty elements Cons: - honestly the streets just look... a mess, 99% of the time - shops closing has turned entire districts into boarded-up and shuttered-down nightmares - hard to stop and breathe most of the time

It's not my favourite city in the world but I do like it alot. Liverpool is the best city in England I've been to and Bracelona is my over all favourite city. Not a massive city fan in general though

1) It depends where you are, I'd say only the 'main roads' where it's really busy can be trashy in places 2) Honestly this used to happen in my small hometown, I don't think it's exclusive to London 3) I've only really had that problem on tubes |

Oh yeah definitely, but given the scale of London it's just naturally more disconcerting to see an entire neighbourhood pretty much derelict rather than say, one high street back home.

fine if you have money
its congested beyond belief unfriendly way way too expensive dirty way way too many foreigners the disadvantages far far out weigh any advantages, its a sh1thole and people need to accept that and stop the fairytales |

Think you need yourself and the TL on a good day out to London this weekend
I think people assume it's expensive because they are tourists, in Zone 1 it's obviously very different to the other zones with everything. If you buy property of course it's expensive anywhere, but anything else is no different. Transport here is cheaper (and 10000x better) than in my hometown too. |

It's alright in small doses.
I went down there for 6 days exhibiting in Islington and by the 3rd day I'd had enough and wanted to come home to the peace of Wales! You've never experienced "panic" until you've had to commute on the underground and rush hour! Bit of a difference for me when my usual bus here used to have about 4 people including me on for the whole trip into town! Last edited by LaLaLand; 07-02-2019 at 06:20 PM. |

I mean neither apply.
I don't hate it with a passion (I mean, I live here now so I have to like it) but it also is nowhere near the best city going. Last edited by Firewire; 07-02-2019 at 06:41 PM. |

I’ve been once to meet an ex forum member and i had fun but he since blocked me on whatsapp (this happened years after the actual meetup mind) so that has tarnished my opinion of the city and also i hope he dies

I was kinda gagged to be walking around the streets at like 3am and it’s bustling and then you get on a bus and it’s packed at like 3am?? Like the bus services up north stop running at 11pm and i think everyone is scared to go out after dark for fear of getting murdered
