@ bunkbobo , you are an excellent photographer , and may i suggest if you ever get the chance to go to Scotland take it Edinburgh is the most beautiful city i have ever seen it blows smelly London away

it is cleaner , greener and the people are much friendlier

telephone boots and places around the street smell like urine

why are people complaning about london, the city is small and definately most wanted!!! the population is very high i don't think anyone can afford to build their own house except after looting like our ministers

their architecture is unique thats why u don't see fancifl house and damn u can't just paint your house any colour u like or build it anyway u like u have to go through long processes with the council, i think most house are very similar not too over the top which i think is irritating to nigerians, We like big bold NOTICE-ME COLOURS N STYLES

ITS just a city in uk so try elsewhere if u want to but trust me no where else in the Uk is like london, manchester errr second london, birmingham just tryin too much pakistanis n indians,


some people mentioned london is COLD, errr duuuuuuuuuuuuuuh what were u expecting?
before u travel u should do research of where u are going
Nigerian tourist don't go for just for sightseeing they go for party and family,thats if they don't spend everyday complaining about the cold, my uncle came for 4days 

nigerian clubs, Meantime,Nytce,Moonlighting etc<< played out fake big boys
try south london for clubs

well london is not bad. its cold as heck though! but blacks rock the place men!but the streets are way too narrow. and sum of the houses are not big. but in summary the place is nice. Its a good tourist site

@Badman888 , here you're is cold datz why you're saying that. Toronto is kind of a same weather as london esp. diz year that we did not experience winter

yes raods are tiny and houses, still go with ma canada

I love London!

It is congested but it just means that is also full of life.

It is expensive, actually the 2nd/3rd most expensive in the world but that ia always the case when there are too many people and demand is high.

Houses on the general are very small due to lack of space and also very very expensive.

London is very multicultural and there is a person from every country in the world in it!

The Westend never sleeps and is bubbling 24 hours a day.

Now people are saying dirty?? This I do not understand, what part? I personally don't think so. It is not as clean as Paris but Paris case na overdo!

But the UK as a whole as other cities that may appeal to other people. I personally love Glasgow as well. Oxford for me was too University oriented, the whole town is like one big Campus.

Funny story about London: A friend who just arrived and was staying with me, asked me how to get about town. I told him to buy a travelcard for the day and this will allow him to enter bus and train to anywhere.

Maybe I made a mistake when explaining to him and did not clarify Bus and Train properly becuase na so my friend call Black cab and enter am, after getting where he is going and the Taxi Driver wanted his money he showed him his travelcard!!!

Come see yawa! I had to go an bail him out o!

  he showed his travel card to the driver am sure the guy would have been pissed

omg, that's real funny ting. did it happen for real??  hahahahahahahahahahaha

London is another Nigeria,

anyone that goes to London and begins to gan-pa has not even started going abroad, to me

@BOKUNBOBO :--- Thumbs up for you  'Your list is sooo Londonical' 

Brixton is a very scary place to me  reminds me of Oshodi !
Peckham is just too noisy full of lousy Nigerians !

The west end is always bubbly at nites u'd wish u could be there 24/7, if u've got your cash 2 spend 

That scenario is now happeneing to Essex! I'll have to move again soon.
