The Capital of the [world], only rival [New York]. Incorporates the best of both Europe and America. Unlike in New York the [Tube] stations are Clearly signposted. Unlike New York the streets are all squigley and it is really really old. South of the river [Thames] is a mythical land that those on the North talk about in nervous whispers, but it actually isn't that bad and is fast becoming the only place in the city besides cardboard boxes that is affordable to live in. Stand in the middle of the Millenium footbridge and turn around in a 360 degree circle. Go on the London eye. Don't visit the London Dungeons. Go shopping on portabello road, or in Camden, not in Covent Garden. Go to the opera in Regent's park, and to speaker's corner in Hyde park on a sunday afternoon. Trafalger Square in the evening, Leicester square at mid-day. Karl Marx and Charles Dickens are buried in Highgate cemetary. Ealing is queen of the suburbs.

All of life is there.

The capital of England, but not the only city there. No americans seem to realise that not all english people are from london, and that we don't all eat crumpets and go on the hunt.

"Where are you from?" "England" "Oh my gawd, I love london" "No, not London. Manchester." "Oh my gawd, I love london" "Err, no, I'm not from London but I am from england" "Oh my gawd..." etc etc

The most cosmopolitan city in the world, with the coolest subway system (the underground). Proper and sophisticated yet urban, ethnic, and clubby. Best food out of any Euro city.

9. (London) (251↑, 58↓)
An excellent city, just alive and buzzing with many cultures. Very possibly the best city in the world, though often mistaken for the only place (worth seeing anyway) in the U.K. by ignorant foreigners

English person: Have you been to the U.K. before? Foreigner: Oh yes, I've been to London five times on holiday. English person: Anywhere else? Foreigner: No, there's nothing worth seeing outside the M25, it's just a barren wasteland English person: Ignorant fool. DIE NOW\! *pulls out knife and stabs repeatedly*

The capital of the world, there is nowhere better, the people are friendly and courtious, there are so many different smells and sounds, u can get almost any type of food u want, its easy to get to different places on the tube, don't get a cab (robbin bastards), we've got thousands of tourist attractions (buckingham palace etc) we've got several great football teams (spurs, arsenal, west ham, chelsea), the crime is not as bad as lots of people say (number 11 on the British crime league table), all in all london is the capital of the universe, to anyone who comes to london and hates it, i feel sorry for u.

London rules, big shout out to all the peoples of the world.

15. (London) (114↑, 35↓)
Capital of England. Capital of the UK. One of the four fashion capitals of the world, along with [Paris], [New York], [Milan] & [Tokyo]. A place rich in culture, old & new, traditional & punk-rock. Walk through the West End and you'll see restaurants of 10003 different countries, shops which sell handbags in the shape of watering cans, and about 70 people painted silver or gold or various other metallic colours who make squeaky noises when they move and scare little children when they go to put money in their hat. Take pictures of red double decker buses, the Big Ben or black taxi cabs. Alternatively, take any London tourist guide and cut out the front cover picture which will contain all of these things. If you're a goth, or a little bit 'alternative', go to Camden Market. Anyone else go to Oxford circus for the biggest and best Topshop in the world, Portobello Road or Covent Garden (especially on a nice summers evening with a slight breeze in your hair and the gentle guitar strumming of the buskers in the background. Trendies in skinny jeans sit on street corners and listen to scene music and the strange gold squeaky men pack up after a days hard work.)

London is A fashion capital of the world.

the greatest city in the world. home to the best of all cultures, unfortunatly chavs seem to have emerged aswell. the north london is a great and glorious land of golden streets etc. while the south should home to many many people but is hardly on the tube map, theres a reason. The most egotistical city there is, theres a better reason.

'where shall we go today' 'we could go south london' both burst out laughing 'but on a more serious not there is so much south and not any transport their, i wonder why there isnt any' 'thats easy, nobody wants to go there.'

Put simply, London is the United Kingdom in its entirety. London spreads itself throughout the island like butter across a hot crumpet. London folk are all neighbours with Her Majesty the Queen and often share afternoon tea with her. Linguists believe this is the cause of the phenomenon where all Londoners speak exactly like the aforementioned queen.

Random Englishmen: I am from the north of England. Random Americanmen: Oh? My friend Julie lives in London, do you know her? Random Englishmen: Why yes I believe I do, I’ll be sure to tell her we met. Random Americanmen: Thank you, safe travel back to London\!

21. (London) (127↑, 97↓)
Home of gangs, knife crime, drugs, poverty See a gang of youths in hoodies walk fast to the corner then run. If you wanna see the slums of london go to Harlesden, Brixton, Peckham, Stonebridge, Some parts of Hackney, Plastow, Catford, Lewisham, Tottenham.

22. (London) (81↑, 52↓)
London - its a wiked place but aint all that posh like the americans think it to be. Most of London, except the outer boroughs ,central london and most of westminster is a dump, shitty public housing everywhere from crappy council houses to grimey shitty towerblocks and big dirty estates. If you wana see londons ghettos - then go to these places - HARLESDEN, Stonebridge, north kensington, gospel oak, BRIXTON, streatham, PECKHAM, walworth, lewisham, deptford, new cross, woolwich, Plaistow, west ham, stratford, HACKNEY, bow, bethnal green, poplar, enfield and TOTTENHAM. Yeh they're all very shitty with high levels of crime, for example - a lot of robbery, burglary, assault, regular stabbings, occasional shootings and car-jacking goes on and most teenagers in these parts carry knives. Most gangs always got straps and people carry converted baikals that fire 9mm ammunition, mac 10s, magnums and revolvers. Bare people in London do own guns even though theyre illegal. If you don't want to get shot, dont go to the places in caps - brixton, peckham, hackney, tottenham and harlesden (harlesden/stonebridge has decreasing crime but once gunshots wud go off every nite, it was like jamaica around 8 years ago) London has 3 times the amount of crime New York does just to note.

African american kid is walkin along in brixton, London and sees some british niggaz smokin weed. "yo fam - i dint know UK had weed, i thought yall jus sipped tea and ate crumpets fo real" BANG BANG BANG - kid gets shot "talk to da gun pussyole, fuckin yank wasteman"

London is the capital city of the UK, and also the largest. Its VERY multicualtural and one of the great cities of the world, on a par with New York, Paris, Tokyo. Its a city of contrast, its a wealthy place of royalty, upperclass and celebrity, a tourist haven and a place of great culture. And at the same time, its a bleak, impoverished, violent, crime ridden hell hole, where street gangs make peoples lives a misery, people are shot and stabbed just for looking at someone the wrong way, disilusioned teens steal your cars and then torch them on wasteland and drug addicted single mothers stuggle paying to feed their drug addicted kids. London is a great place to live, if you have money. If your poor, then living in London can be a brutal and nightmarish experience.

London, its good, really good in places, but in some of its bad, but at least its not as bad as Manchester (my current residence).

A name for a very amazing, beautiful girl. She's warmhearted and sweet and will help anyone in need, especially animals and the homeless. She has beautiful eyes and hair. She's very outgoing and oftentimes crazy and a little weird, but people love her regardless because she is herself and that's what matters most. London basically means "amazing all around".

Girl: So my new girlfriend's name is London. Other girl: Oh sweet\! That means she's amazing\!

I'm american and I know that London is the capital of England not vice versa. Most of us aren't idiots that's just a ignorant stereotype. But anyway London is basically the Manhattan of England. Extremely expensive, good eating, good shopping, history, etc. Basically it is a must see city.

Us "Yanks" aren't stupid or ignorant as the media makes us look. Give us a chance. Yes 97% of us know, London is the capital of England. If I asked a Englishmen what the capital of the state of Louisiana was, would he know? Maybe, maybe not the point is we both don't know a lot about each other's culture.

The capital of the UK. Unlike what *Jersy kid* says, London is not the capital of England, as England has no official capital. A city which too truly understand, you must both love and hate.

"There's a whole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it and its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit and it goes by the name of London. At the top of the hole sit the previlaged few Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo turning beauty to filth and greed..."

The city with the second-coolest subway system in the world, the first being [Tokyo].

The Underground is cool an' all, but it isn't half as clean, half as fast, or half as filled with gorgeous Japanese girls and adorable Japanese boys who look like girls as London. Plus, you're more likely to meet a punker or in Tokyo than London nowadays, which is pretty pathetic.

Home of street robbery, ineffective policing, knife crime, a few decent tourist attractions and bad weather. Come to London, by all means, but make sure you don't leave the safety of Southbank or the City, or your Mobile Phones, Ipods, Currency, Passports, Travellers Cheques and Credit Cards will be stolen. Then you will be stabbed, the Ambulance will take half an hour to get their and the police won't even care. Noteable places to avoid: Islington(yes...the whole of it), Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Peckham, Brixton, Bermondsey.

*Walks into any of the aforementioned areas in London* *gets mugged, stabbed to death*

The capital of England and Great Britain Once the capital of one third of the world and a stroll along the many roads and avenues will show evidence of a strong past. Long ago a industrial city like liverpool,manchester and birmingham which ruled the world. In present it is full of Homosexuals,Liberals,Immigrants (often muslim and illegal) and other rich Guardian reading Traitors. The real londoners are branded into this shit group of wankers,we are not all "cosmopolitan metrosexuals" what ever the fuck that means,some are real MEN not beckhamite twats. Its time for a change london,if we keep on with multicultural bollocks then our downfall is islams victory. Rise UP London,Rise UP Manchester,Rise Up Liverpool and Birmingham,lets make Britain GREAT again.

The reality is of a liberal muslim capital city We should stop all this "manc" vs "cockney" or "scouse" caper and join together as englishmen,the same kind who kicked the crap out of the germans in two wars. Long Live London and England

A city in the South of England, often refered to by myself as SKANKLAND. The reason being... 1. it is full of skanks 2. it is full of perverts 3. it is full of dirty filthy cockney londoners who think they can have just about anyone they want, who have had everyone they want 4. although... yes it has some beatiful attractions... the people there well... are usually beatiful on the outside but disturbed on the inside 5. it is dangerous to be there 6. it is dangerous to speak to people there 7. you should beware of sex attacks and stabbings and such whenever you go there

A dirty skankhole in Southern England full of pickpockets and people trying to sell football scarves. People from London believe that only ghosts live beyond the border of the M25. Mysterious creatures and strange, magical goings on happen there. Anyone from outside the British Isles, and inside the M25 believes that London is: - The only city in England - England - Britain - (London only) The best place in the world, despite never having been anywhere else - The only place with any nightlife in Britain

Go to anywhere in Central London, such as Oxford Street, Trafalgar Square, etc. Walk around and breathe the free air. Go home to your house or hotel. Get a tissue. Stick it up your nose and waggle it around a bit. Said tissue will now be black and can be used for charcoaling, sketching or as a neat party trick.

The name London is a mixture of two words ''LUN'&'DONE' when this city was created in England, a bunch of fuckers headed by Punjabi got togather to name this city. After three days of no conclusion Punjabi came out for a fag. As soon as he came out, a news reporter stopped him and asked Sir what is done ?'' Punjabi replied in agitation..''Lun Done'' and since then it was named LUNDONE, later on spelled as LONDON to avoid female resistance.
