How fantastic is London city?

I often feel that London is a place of two extremes. On one hand exhilarating, exciting, vibrant, and on the other hand can be the loneliest place in the world, potentially dangerous and dark, moody and threatening.

I don't think there is another city in the world that encapsulates all that London does.

London is warm bright and young.

Thank you for the kisses! Your words about London are very kind.
Probably not much has changed in five years except for the congestion charge making central London much nicer as there are fewer cars. There are more buses now as well.
Your English is much better than most of the British people who use Yahoo answers - well done!

In the last five years some parts of London have become less distinctive than they were. Too many Starbucks and not as many individually-owned establishments. Kensington High Street and the King's Road, for example, used to have lots of quirky boutiques; now they look more like any other main street.

But in most ways, London still offers the great range of choice that you remember, whether you're looking for somewhere to eat or shop, or a music venue... or almost anything. And it's now more multicultural than ever.

And your English is great, by the way!

Not a lot has changed,except new stores opening up in Central London,especially for fashion. Always new theatre and films, it depends on your interests. I prefer Italy especially Tuscany, it was good to see Italy win the World Cup. I was married to an Italian for a long while, he came from Pisa. When I raise the money I would love to visit Italy again maybe see the South for a change, Sorrento,Amalfi, Naples or Siciliy. Be interesting to see how Italy has changed. I listen to the Italian web site stations sometimes, my Italian language skills are rubbish, not enough practice, its my favorite foreign language. Kisses from London.

London is the centre of culture throughout the world.
It is known to be the "Music Capital of the World". There are many attractions that we catch your attention, such as Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, the Millienium Dome, Westminister, the shopping districts from Oxford Street to Brixton and Surrey Street Market. London has its reputation for being the second most fashionable place, to shop (after Paris)There are numerous place to sit and relax and enjoy a good party every night.
As you know, it has good transport connections to the rest of Britain, and hosts 3 international airports so you can off in the air as quickly as possible! It is home to the famous "London Underground"- the first underground system in the World.

The diversty in London is something not to be missed. Different cultures from all over the world pass through.

Since the turn of the Millienium, London has been subject to changes, such as the Congestion Charge through Central London. The Millienuim Dome since 2001 is no longer a site to celebrate the change of the millia, but hosts other things.

As worldly publicilised the London bombing of the Underground 7/7/01, which since then, there has been an increase in the security around London, around the UK in general.

Since 2001, London has won to be the host for the 2012 games, and the capital, as well as the nation, are preparing for the Olympics!

There are numeros changes that have happened since 2001 in London, that I'm sure you will be glad to see again soon!

i had five years between two visits to london (first one for three days, the second for five weeks) and it felt different but most likely because i aged five years. you can still find anything in london. it's starting to become more like a shopping mall. they were building this shopping area in bloomsbury over the summer that i did not approve of. i would like to go back, mostly because i love how green it is compared to most american cities.
did they put as much mayonnaise on everything back then as they do now?

I'm italian too and I went just 2 times in London too! I find London very cool and amazing! Every time that I go there, I discover new things and places...I would like to stay some month in Great Britain..When I'm there, I think to be at home.. I find english humor and customs very very like as my ideas... now I'm in Germany to improve my German..but, when I'll finish my studies, I want to get back in London! It's my preferred capital that I visited till now..and if I can't live there for few months, I want to get there many many many times..
Sorry for my mistakes too

Well I have lived in London all my life and I don't find it fantastic! But I guess that is the same for most people - they don't find their home town that great!

And by the way your grammer is fine - much better than some English speaking people!

I suggest you try visiting New York City. There is no place like it on earth
London is cold, dark and old.
