Why London is the world's greatest city.

[wandering_fred]

Alas there are many cities I enjoyed visiting in the 1970s and 80s that I suspect would not appeal to me in the least in the current world environment. Cost being a part of it, but the multi-cultural society has overwhelmed the distinct sense of (regional) community that made the cities enjoyable. Some places will always be defined by their geography (Amsterdam's canals - sorry haven't been to Venice) but the Colombo of 1979 (or the Capetown of 1983) will never be found in 2016.

As a medium term temporary living space I think I would seriously rather Melbourne VIC to anywhere near London. Maybe I should visit the Greek Islands in summer or early fall. But that's not really cities.

YMMV due to the different directions we are wandering

Even if I wanted to live there I certainly couldn't afford it!

I am a London fan too, but like any big city, it's nice to visit but i wouldnt want to live there.

I hope they are still there. I will be with my little boy in London over Christmas and he will be over the moon that he can meet a real Jedi.

Would you still love it after Friday!!

Of course everyone is optimistic about their own opinion on the outcome. So yes it will be loved on Friday and after. Whether it is affordable to live/visit is an entirely different question.

Happy wandering
