I was born and brought up in London; left when I was 21. I visit friends there about once a year, and I always come away with the same sentiment as matsa.

It seems that people who move there in their adult life have a ball. Personally, I can't see past the grime.

My girlfriend lives/comes from south London and the reality of living there is quite different from visiting! Same can be said of all major cities. Personally, I couldnt think of anything worse than living in a city. Where i live, i have a pond with ducks that I can play with (feed them big balls of bread :lol: ) and it takes me 5 mins to get to work.

Hey Mr Orange. Welcome to the forum. I'm from Manchester originally, and that's a cackhole with even worse public transport. Love going back for a weekend every now and then, but couldn't wouldn't live there.
