Thanks for commenting, Lisa. Haven’t ‘seen’ you here before. I went to London for the first time at 19 as well and couldn’t help but fall in love with the city.

Everyday courtesies and kindness have disappeared!? I think it depends on the context (who you meet, what neighborhood you’re in, and one’s own behavior/attitude). As for the mixing of cultures, you’re joking… right?
There are way more benefits with the blending of cultures than improved restaurants.

Having been to London more times than people squashed into a rush hour Central Line tube I totally understand. I went for the first time when I was 19 and fell in love with a city of all things. I just got back from an all too brief weekend there and can't wait to return now that the dollar is a bit stronger. London has changed though, despite all of its assets, everyday courtesies and kindness have disappeared over the last 20 years and the blending of cultures has not proved to be a benefit for anything other than improving the restaurants.

@MzTravelDiva, I think, once you have visited (or lived in) London at least once, it’s easy to miss the city.

@Tamara, I’m also biased about living in London. When it comes to living there for a couple of months or a year, no problem. But I don’t think I’d want to live there permanently, unless I had an apartment somewhere else as well and could spend one part of the year (a few weeks or months) in London and the other part somewhere else.

When I’m coming over depends on a few things here in Sweden. Wish I knew an exact date.

I miss London as well. I lived there for a few months, and it was one of my best experiences. You're right a sunny day in London was just icing on the cake. MzTravelDiva’s last blog post..Help! I am addicted to this game.

@Spot Cool Stuff and @Olga, Yes, now is a great time to go to London!

@Petulia, I don’t know exactly when I will travel or how long I will stay for, but I’m definitely interested in joining one of your walks. Without a doubt.

I would go to London in a heartbeat, as well. I think it’s a great choice.

London is such a great travel city. And now that the exchange rate is a bit more reasonable I can actually afford to go again. Spot Cool Stuff’s last blog post..London Hotel or Opulent Victorian Novel?
