I'm not from London, but I've been there- It was ok, but nothing special.

haha, thats the one thing im dreading... im dreading the underground. It looks so bad on movies haha.
Ive been once, but got sent home for drinking (I didnt even drink, the rest of my class did) went to go watch Wicked and stayed over night, I liked what I saw.

When I move to London I am just going to hog the west end. I just LOVE theatre.

I'm from London and love it =D

There's always something to do, or somewhere to go.
Plus London Pride = <3

As Fom said, West End+Theatre = LOVE.
I'll never forget seeing The Woman In Black o__O

You can get that up north as well if you want it

Anyway, congestion charge (coming to Manc ), people being too career orientated, people just generally not being as nice in London, more to do up north etc.

London is overrated and TV/media is too London-centric.

I love the underground! =D
even when it's crowded, although I'll admit I hate it at the time xD
But it's a useful thing to have.

Although TV is centering even more around Manchester these days.

Shameless is filmed in Salford, not Manchester, and only started being filmed in Manchester for series 5 (I think) the one that went out this year.

I agree though TV is coming up north a bit more but 80% of programmes comes out of London.

Manchester isn't "Up North" haha, come up to the real North - it's even better.

Nah, but seriously - I have nothing against London it's just not for me in the slightest. I prefer the easygoing friendly nature of the North rather than the cold ambitious nature of the South (no, I'm not saying people in the South are unfriendly LOL).

I live in London. There are positive and negative points about it. Its great for shopping, restraunts and musicals and pretty much has everything you would ever need but it is always so busy and you can get so many rude people.
I'm not gonna be living here much longer as I am going to uni and I dont wanna stay in London.
