I HAVE BEEN THERE AND THERE IS NOTHING SO FANTASTIC ABOUT LONDON. LONDON IS AN OLD CITY, PARIS IS MORE BEATIFUL. BUT THINGS ARE WELL ORGANISED THERE, U CAN MOVE AROUND WITHOUT UR OWN CAR. WITH A BUS OF TRAIN TICKET OF 3 AND 4 POUNDS YOU ARE DONE FOR THE DAY. LONDON IS VERY SECURITY CONSCIOUS NOW EXPECIALLY AFTER THAT BOMBING. YOU SPEND HOUR AT HETHROW BEFORE BOADING ALL IN THE NAME SECURITY CHECKING.

ALL THE SAME THE PLACE IS CLEAN

There is nothing really too much about London, old buildings small houses stuffs like that, still prefer CANADA, But you hear Yoruba in every bus you enter or pidgeon along the road the number of nigerians there make u feel as if u havnt left nigeria.

I don't know about you guy's but I don't go to other countries to spot out things the same as where I live, kinda pointless I think

Eg, When I was in Paris I didn't go looking for an Australian restruant (though I did see one lol)

This a glorious work of arts, just Splendid!
That is London for you!

@ 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

alj:

i don't like London its the dirtiest city i ever seen in UK.

you're right, london is dirty

telephone boots and places around the street smell like urine

Can someone please recommend a hotel,club or party in and around the central London district? I arrive on Friday the 24th of March and leave on sunday the 26th of March. I need ideas of the places in the Party district to hit. Nigerian, African, Jamican, Tech-no,Hip-hop,concerts,comedy clubs ETC. I want to make the best out of the trip, and i will love some ideas.

Thanks

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

I live in London
overcrowded, high standard of living
nice shops and tourist sports
so many theatres
fun well neutral, prefer naija sha
weather sucks
best place for equal opportunities esp, race
multicultural diversity
black capital frm african to carribean
good transport system, although costly
lots of stuff sha
post some more later

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

if you leave canada to london in the winter u feel warm when u get there big time

@Badman888 , here u r is cold datz why u r saying that. Toronto is kinda a same weather as london esp. diz year that we did not experience winter

Ok hotstepper some parts of canada , The roads in london are tiny.

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

Still the most visited city in the world

with a population of 7.3 million inhabiting an area around 174 sq km,

every little space counts

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!

Yeah real funny story- Travelcard 4 black cab ke!

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

esp. if the cab driver is white

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

Like a lot of people have said there are plenty of places to visit in the U.K besides London.

Bath, Cambridge, Oxford and Edinburgh are all nice cities that aren't as expensive, or congested.

However if you're really into your art and your museums then London is a must, best in the world.

As for shopping, the U.K really is a rip-off. Go to the states if all you want to do is shop.

London is another Nigeria,

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

i guess iraq is the place to be,,,,,,, to you

@BOKUNBOBO :--- Thumbs up for you  'Your list is sooo[b] Londonical'[/b]

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

after 5years the white neighbourhood now becomes another lousy area like peckham.
