- 1. (london) (2907↑, 631↓)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.

Author: london123 http://london.urbanup.com/177220215. (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.

Author: Baby Fat Head http://london.urbanup.com/50561720. (London) (130↑, 91↓)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?

Author: showa man http://london.urbanup.com/205104422. (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.

Author: Me yep yep http://london.urbanup.com/343471227. (London) (33↑, 23↓)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).
