overcrowded, overpriced, too many tourists, only about 3 native londoners living there, the rest of them are actually foreign, from the home counties or from the north, it stinks, it's polluted, everyone who lives there loves themselves, everyone's a stranger, its not friendly, everyone pushes past you, the tube is scary and disgusting, as are the buses, there's pockets of extreme poverty next to very affluent areas, the transport is horrendous

I like the mix of people opinons and cultures. The speed, the music scenes, the underground clubs (music clubs not tube enthusiasts), constantly finding great places you never knew existed and the ability to disapear.
I like the fact its a constantly moving and evolving city but at the same time sometimes it doesnt feel like home because it changes so much and people move in and out.
I dont like the post-tube-black-snot, the pigeons, the concrete, the grime, the poverty, the squirts of junkie blood on council estate stairwells, the price of rent and the sizes of flats. Oh and traffic wardens, but who likes traffic wardens anywhere.

I hate the congestion charges, once again only if you have quite a bit of money do you benefit from living in London. But I still love the place though.

I LIKE the congestion charge, bus lanes, traffic wardens and the fact that we have a Mayor who actually cares about public transport and has done a lot to improve the buses. Thank you Ken, carry on persecuting motorists. They've been persecuting everyone else for years.
There now, all those selfish petrolheads can give me thumbs down now!

I like the parks and open spaces everywhere.
I dislike being forced to buying a oystercard for travel.
Those who dont know if you buy an oyster card its only £1 on the bus if you dont its £2.

I lived there for 5 years and think it is an amazing city. One thing that I didn't like was that "black snot" you get after travelling on the underground.......

I think it's the most wonderful city in the world, and to quote a famous man, "If you're tired of London, you're tired of life" .
