Experience in London, United Kingdom by Oana

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

It is very nice to live in London. There are both advantages and disadvantages. The good thing about it is that it's one of the biggest cities in the world, you can meet more cultures in one place and people from around the world. There are amazing places like The Shard, The Big Ben or Tower Bridge which are symbols of London. One obvious disadvantage is that it is always crowded. There lots and lots of people everywhere you go, and I don't want to speak about the Central London, the Oxford Street Underground...
