I was there for about a year and a half, and there was about 1-2 weeks that were really nice, meaning sunny and warm. I just went there for a visit about a month ago, and I was surprised that it was again sunny and warm for the first few days. Then I went to Leeds and it wasn't so good anymore, and overcast by the time I got back to London.
The country side can be beautiful, though, and the women are great.  |
London has some of the top resturants in the world. If you don't like traditional English food then don't worry because except for fish and chips you aren't likely to find it anyway. A resturant without prices? Where was that because I never even heard of that but it does show that you can get just about anything you want to eat in London.
The number one eating tip in regards to London is don't go near the Angus/Aberdeen Steak Houses. They are ONLY for tourists that don't know any better.
Also, it always kind of pisses me off when people go on about the weather. Firstly, London gets such little snow or really cold weather that it makes up for lack of constant sunshine for me. It is true that this isn't the sunniest city in the world but then again it isn't California. That said, the summers are starting to get hotter and hotter here...I would rather they didn't.
It does however have some of the most incredible history and culture you will find anywhere. It is also one of those cities that someone either loves or hates. If you love it then it will get under your skin and become a part of you.
Similar to New York, it is a city where you can find whatever you want to find and make the city suit whoever you want to be. Is there bad stuff here? Hell yeah! Is there great stuff here? You better fucking believe it.
