Experience in London, United Kingdom by Naomi

What is it like to live in London? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

London is probably the best city in the world ! It has it all , history , tradition , culture, fashion and a constantly evolving vibe. It's up to you to make the most of it . There are loads of things and actiivities to take part in , some very expensive, Opera , theatre etc. Some cost now nothing at all, the Parks, lunchtime recitals in churches etc.
I'd suggest that you look up blogs for whatever area of life interests you and weigh that all up against more established forums such as Tripadvisor etc . and then you can sort out what's good for you !
