Hi Allie v - I'm a Londoner born and bred. You'll have no problem here in London. While we will understand you instantly, you may have a problem understanding us at first. But it's not that bad. Like Winston Churchill said, we are two great nations separated by a common language.

We just use words differently thats all, but they're all Engish. Like you say hood and we say bonnet - and we're talking about looking at the engine in our cars to see why the thing has stopped and refused to re-start, or whatever.

The next site will help you understand English as spoken here in UK.

Meanwhile, every year we have the Queen's Birthday Parade right here in London.

The above is the Queen's favourite military march and it is played for her every year. . . .

You'll fall madly in love with London - it's got everything you can possibly ever want, including a common language called English.

Here's St. George's day at Covent Garden.

hi i live in london

effy :)

oohh, i live like a train ride outside of London
tbh, I doubt the UK is like the US, architecture in London is fab, cos there are so many different styles, cos you get really modern buildings, and then all these lovely old fashioned georgian sort of things,
um, cos I'm english, i've got like, no idea how old you are if you're a junior, that probably sounds a bit pathetic, but, feel free to ask me any specific questions, bout london :)

OH, warning-
London is frrreeeeezing a lot of the time, and it rains a lot,
so slightly different from barcelona.

Travelling between London and Barcelona is fairly easy, as there are some cheap airlines that operate the route. So if you wanted to study in one place but visit the other one occasionally for holidays, you could do so. Personally, I would recommend London because I think you'll find the lack of English speakers a problem in Spain.

barcelona compared 2 london is like new york 2 miami,no contest london is more fun and exciting,you got a chance to live in london for a while don't refuse it,it may be expensive but doing things cheap eventually cost more,besides you can hop on a plane and be in barcelona in 2 hours and spend a weekend there that be enough it's a small town that's pretty for a minute.

I would go with Barcelona, I live in London and cost of living is as high as they say, everything will cost double here for you compared to home. Plus it sounds like you've fallen in love with Barcelona. Go there London will still be here if you chose to visit later.

All you will be doing is waisting your parents Money and it's a shame thy have not seen that yet & I do not thing they will see it until after the fact!. If you was my son & you decided to go away to college with the intention that you haven given, the reason why you want to go away to college then the only way you would get my blessing is if you are paying your OWN WAY TRUE COLLEGE, Then I would show you where you would be going wrong &
the way you should go & if you still decide to go your way, then I would
