The plus side:
1) It's really cool and exotic the first couple weeks
2) The women love American guys
3) The Chinese food and popcorn is awesome
4) The Judo is good over there (go to the Budokwai)
5) It's fun yelling at people to drive on the correct side of the road
The negative:
1) The weather sucks...except for about 2 weeks out of the year, it's always cold and wet
2) The food sucks really bad (except for the Chinese food and popcorn, as noted above)
3) It's expensive
4) It's very easy to get ripped off
5) There's a tax on TV

I dunno about the Judo but I'd say the rest of this is spot on. I usually hang with friends in Stoke Newington or Tottenham when I'm in London so I definitely give them the thumbs up.
People say New York is too expensive but in all honesty NYC is nothing when you look at the cost of living in London. They charge like $4
PER LITER of gasoline! Not gallon but PER LITER! That place is insane. A Big Mac value meal will run you $8 or more after exchange rates are factored in.
