I bet I'm not the only one fooled into thinking this was going to be some daily mail type rant about proper London. Nicely played OP.

Ergo, if multicultural's what you're seeking, London would not be first choice.

Re: Multicultural London
London Ont is famously unicultural. I suppose in terms of children you should look at as you would a move to, say, Inverness.

Re: Multicultural London
Brampton is more of a multicultural city and probably a better place to live and work for a chef.
