TOP TEN REASONS TO VISIT OR LIVE IN LONDON ENGLAND 

glad I could help, sometimes it takes a outside perspective :)

+marvinc999 Well said. :)

Couldn't agree more.

Your welcome Lucy Im glad you enjoyed it :)

London is an amazing city, but if you don't have friends there it can be one of the loneliest places on Earth. This lovely Canadian lady obviously made friends at work, which gave her any entry into socialising in pubs. But you can make friends outside of work. She's right, Londoners are generally friendly, but they respect other people's privacy. So if you find yourself alone, you need to find someone like yourself & start chatting. Just saying you're new in town & alone might be enough for them to invite you to join them the next time they're going out. Pub quizzes are a great way to meet people. And the safest for young single ladies. I spent two years in London as a student, so making friends wasn't a problem. Plus I'm Irish, we can make friends with a lamppost. But if you're a young female coming to London to work, maybe what I've written will come in useful in the future. London's a fantastic place to live, if you have a circle of friends near where you live.

Thanks Rubywine :)

Standing on a packed train with someone's armpit in your face doesn't strike me as lucky.

Possibly, but at least you have a train in which to insert your face in someone's armpit. Most of the rest of the country has to do it on the bus, or have to wait to get home to get some facio-axilliary action.

What amazes me is the morons running for trains and buses, fks sake , there's one 30 seconds behind . I am from Nottingham, living in West London since 1989, i love London.

You can't have seen much of the world when you consider London to have the most extensive PT network.

Flierfy I was focussing on rail as that's what we were discussing here. London has getting on for 700 rail stations (heavy rail, tube and DLR combined) I'll accept there's an element of double counting as I'm counting interchanges seperately for each, but still, what other city in the world has that many?

+Blake Smith-Daniels She is so right about the fashion. I lived for 6 months in Gordon Head and when I arrived I couldn't believe how badly the people dressed. Young people going to Uni in sweat pants and sweat shirts, going out for a night out in what they were wearing during the day! It was a big shock!

im from islington love camden town

being from the south west of England I completely agree There is no where like London, its hard to describe but the place has a buzz about it. My Canadian relatives came over and where blown away, If you are going to come over I would save as much as you can, tiny there is so much choice! But London is very expensive compared to the rest of the country, my top tips would be ; * keep an eye out on line or at your hotel etc for flyers and leaflets as most will have two for one or discount vouchers for attractions. * try a hop on off bus ride they have great commentaries u get to see a lot in a short time plus it often comes with discounts too * if u want to go to the theater head to the "bucket shops" in the main theater district as long as you aren't too fussy about where u sit it will save u loads. *try a river boat cruise a nice way to sit and relax (often included in the bus tour) *grab lunch meals from places like marks and spencer / boots / tesco etc and head to one of the parks cheaper and weather provided nice to kick back and saves £s *keep change for the loos, no idea why but most public wc's charge. Ooh and try to avoid tubes at rush hour particularly with little kids or suitcases it's mental like a cattle market! (Sorry that turned out way longer than I expected lol) I hope you have a great time if you do make it over :)

good u

+sophie parkinson Oh my bad. And its going great! really like it

thanks :) feel free to message if you have questions.

Robbie- no I didn't mention but they are amazing! I loved the last minute deals you could get on shows! I would see a show in the west end every couple months, loved loved loved it I found them better then Broadway in New York, just amazing :)

I grew up in Langley, B.C its not very diverse. Now living in Vancouver there is more diversity but nothing compared to London or the night life in London compared to Vancouver.

Its fucking bad! One or two more generations the English culture will have gone forever.

G G If English culture is represented by the Little England of your desire then good riddance.

See my video on Vancouver :)

+Amanda June I need your help! I know I'm only 16 but I am aiming to move to Vancouver by 2025 (I will be 26 that year). I want to become a Musician, Actor and Dancer as well. I want to do it as a career and I would like to become famous as well. What would your advice be please? Thank you. Alex Jones.

Sam Gates I don't understand what your saying.

America's goes back forty-thousand,but it's only cited as two-hundred,go figure.

terence chesney Well......that just because the history of the majority of the people who live there today, only goes back three, maybe four hundred year at the most........but the native Americans crossed the Bering land bridge into North America between 25-45K years ago. But it seems to me that nobody much cares about native Americans :-/

Actually the Romans just built on top of our roads and towns and erected their places of worship over ours, and when i say ours i mean the celts/etc. The druids and the celts have been on this island approx 4000 BC, at least but we can't be sure. People were living in the area of Stone Henge around 8000BC. The Celts actually stopped the invasion of the Romans for about 100 years until they got across. The romans liked to talk down about the civilisation here but we were actually getting on just fine. As we always have. And no one has come and wiped us out or taken control for good. People come, people go, we take what we want from those cultures and peoples and carry on. Same as usual, in little old Britain.

curt Also, before the Native americans arived, there were apparently early europeans living there. There are ancient storie about how the indians literally wiped out all the red headed giants. There's a fair amount of problems with the finding of ancient bones, which predate the indians but the indians have rights to them and it's causing a fuss.

The Indians evolved from the ancient people. That makes sense. Don't you think?

Hey up, musik102. I am a Remainer : But have to agree with you on the point made here. If successive British Governments had exercised the powers available to them - even within The European Union - to control Immigration, then we should not now be in the mess we find ourselves in.

surprisingly no one ever assumed I was American while living the UK !
