Shit weather, bunch of foreigners, chavs, everything is expensive, no economy.

There are good places in Bongland. London is not one of them.

So No, thank you

>>78593486
you forgot shit food.

nice bait, faggot

London was OK, NYC is more fun, but London is certainly prettier (the touristy parts at least fuck east london)

>>78593486
this
also shitskin country
check numbers of blacks alone in their biggest cities

>>78593486
>No economy

Literally what? The City is pretty much the only place that consistently makes huge amounts of money

>>78593494
London has possibly the best food scene in the entire world. You can literally find anything you want in London.

>>78593547
yeah idk wtf he meant by that, london and NYC are the only two true major economic hubs on earth

>>78593561
same with literally any major city

>London
>Perfect


Trolling like a boss

>>78593494
You could not be more incorrect. Go on any food website that rates cities, London is always near the top

London is literally one of the culinary center of the world. She attracts chef from all over the world and the competition is insane.

>>78593494
Wrong. They something for everyone in London.

>>78593486
>no economy
London has a larger economy than most European countries mate
(Note I do not care for London)

London is my least favourite city in the U.K.

England is my city

I'm going to Budapest in November, which seems to me like an amazing city. What should I do there?

>>78593547
Use to

Bong companies moving to AMS zuid as there are no tomorow. Hiring in masses. Bongs are everywhere here. White Bongs (which is nice)

>>78593619
Name one better city than London in England

>>78593622
This, if you stay in the main tourist areas it's totally amazing. There aren't many perks to living there though, it's cramped and expensive. At least you're close to cool stuff and you have lots of parks

>>78593573
The only other city comparable is NYC. I mean London has probably every ethnic group on the planet, combined with huge wealth, so you will find food establishments that cater to the most obscene things.

I've been to a Persian bakery, a exotic food restaurant with alligator and cricket salad, a Polish deli, an entire street filled with curry houses, a cat cafe, various Italian cafes where the main spoken language is Italian.

If you can dream it, London will have it: Whether it's food, or services or some other shop, culture, religion or people. It's a genuine microcosm of planet earth.

>>78593639
Bristol

>>78593651
yeah you can get all that in chicago and LA too, just not as many and not as interesting as NYC

>>78593638
I'm actually working for a company in the city. Lots of companies are setting up outfits on the continent so they can deal with Brexit - not necessarily moving. There is still a huge amount of money being made here (for the time being)

>>78593639
England, North Wales.

>>78593639
Bath
Brighton
York

>>78593451
*small explosions in the distance*

>>78593719
Is York actually nice? I've heard that it is but it's a long way from where I live (Essex) so I'm not sure it's worth the effort going

>>78593719
been to bath and york and they were literally only cool in the touristy areas, once you leave yorks walls it's just boring UK suburb

>>78593719
Bath and York would be alright to live in but it doesn't make sense to compare them to London. You prob shouldn't even call them cities tbf.
>>78593668
Lol.

>>78593760
Bristol is one of the only cities that can compete with London in the amount of 'fun' things to do. t. Londoner

>>78593804
Doubt it.

>>78593804
bristol was a fucking shithole, completely irrelevant

>>78593838
It's a massive university town in a nice place with nice buildings and huge wealth and an interesting history and unique culture. What more do you want

>>78593859
Everywhere is irrelevant apart from London

>>78593938
no there are definitely other cities of interest in the UK, tons of them, but bristol has literally nothing to offer. london is a huge cosmpolitan playground, bath is absolutely beautiful, york is one big history musum. bristol? it...tries to be a city like london but fails miserably?

>>78593996
Your opinion is wrong

>>78594031
nah fuck off

>>78594040
No u

>>78593674
Don't you think NYC has slidden into irrelevance a bit? A really middlebrow city and lacks dynamicity

London would be awesome if you got rid of the acid attacks, honour killings, black gang stabbing each other, insane prices for everything and exterminated all the jf.

Far from it. It has about as many 3 star restaurants as the city-state of Macau (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Michelin_3-star_restaurants). Tokyo is clearly where it's at, followed by Paris.

Laymen often struggle to comprehend how London could be financially pre-eminent above New York, the economic and financial powerhouse of the USA. This mentality often stems from a late 20th-century anachronism: a mindset from an era in which the New York Stock Exchange was the ultimate arbiter of financial dominance and the bulk of trading transactions took place between North America, Europe and Japan.

There are one or two rankings (such as the IFCDI) that give New York the narrow lead in this area, but speak to anyone competent who works in the finance industry or refer to more comprehensive studies by the reputable Big Four auditor groups and they will point to London as the more influential financial center. Some may even claim that London has indisputable dominance in this area.

The past decade or two saw rapid ascent in the power and influence of London's financial sector, governed by a number of important factors:

1. Developments in emerging markets, such as the BRICS economies, have meant that the global financial system is no longer fixated transatlantically. Under these conditions, the timezone of a financial center is important if it is to have substantive global reach. Unlike New York, London's working hours overlap with those of centers all around the world, emerging and developed, from Chicago to Singapore to Shanghai and Tokyo. Even in this day of electronic and algorithmic trading, ongoing human input and communication is still necessary for the finance industry to function.

2. Take a walk through the, now-modernized, core of London and you'll notice many landmarks that illustrate how the city was once the center of administration for a vast global empire. Towards the turn of the millennium, the "Big Bang" reforms of the 1980s oriented the carefully heritaged framework of infrastructure, global connections and expertise that was already in situ to govern an empire (later, to maintain economic ties with the Commonwealth) towards a mode of global financial administration. Only in a city with London's concentration of intellectual capital would this have been possible.

3. London was helped for a period around the turn of the millennium by light touch regulation, at a time when New York was encumbered with excessive bureaucracy, a prohibitive litigious culture and restrictive regulatory reforms in the form of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act - the latter designed to prevent another Enron scandal. Discussed in this New York Times article, foreign companies simply decided to avoid the hassle by conducting their business and listing their stocks in London.


The consequence of these factors is that London has acquired an enviable level of global reach and influence in terms of its finance industry. Around the turn of the millennium, US exchanges captured approximately 75 percent of the total value of global public offerings. By 2008, this figure had fallen to 15 percent, in large part due to the rise of London. Most things of financial importance in most parts of the world are subject to decisions made in boardrooms across London's financial districts. The same cannot be said of New York.

To put this into perspective, even the US federal and municipal governments refer to London daily to set referenced interest rates on a wide range of financial contracts. This is also true of loan contracts throughout the USA (and the world), including simple commercial mortgages in, for example, New York, Chicago or Houston. Even the most obscure insurance contracts from flyover America to rural China pass through the London re-insurance market. Regional markets like this are in communication with London, not New York, every day.

There are some persistent misconceptions that also need to be addressed:

1. Stock exchanges are increasingly a thing of the past, and the open outcry system in popular media portrayals of Wall Street are relics of the late 20th century. Stock trading via exchanges is being supplanted by private equity, and most trading is now electronic. The New York Stock Exchange in Wall Street, which was recently bought out by an Atlanta-based futures and options exchange, is now little more than a TV studio, and its servers have relocated to New Jersey.

Foreign exchange, not stock trading, is the most liquid market in the world.


2. By far the most liquid markets today are the foreign exchange, interest rate derivatives, insurance and bond markets, the essential lifeblood of the global financial system. These dwarf the equity markets by orders of magnitude. Even by conservative estimates, London dominates all of these markets by magnitude of transaction volume. To put this into perspective, more money flows through London, daily, than all the exchanges in North America combined.
