Where's Mike Stanton Esq. when you need him.
My view - if you can, or want to, and afford to do what London does well then you're in.

Re: London, Capital of the World
London is a great city and I lived there for 17 years. Is it the best in the world? It depends. For me, it was when I lived there, but it's not now. I think it's a great place to live if you're in your 20s or early 30 but after that there are better places to live. There are also good alternatives to live when you're in your 20s and 30s.
London does have a great geographical location (fairly much being in the centre timezone for the world's landmasses) but it does have its problems. All cities have their plus points and their minus points.
At the end of the day if it was the greatest city in the world then everyone would be moving there.

Re: London, Capital of the World
Did the commute thing for three years and lived in Hither Green (aka Catford) for 1. First experience of being a minority (the only white face on the bus)! Twas great for a short period tho, never had any aggro at all, despite being a very "rough" area. Think London would be way too fast for me these days (on a daily basis) tho! must be getting old
bit further up though... Forest Hill/Brockley Still I can definitely talk and understand West Indian.

Used to love the Jamaica Patties, had a soft spot for fried chicken, but never gave the Goat Curry a go, until I got here... There are heaps of places that sell it around here.
Jah mahn...
