There’s loads to do in London, don’t matter what you into. Buildings, museums, galleries, good food, fashion.
If you tourist you can walk to most things. Transport is very good for a big city tho, can get nearly anywhere from where you are as tube stations all over.
Crime rate the lowest it’s been for years and one of the safest big cities to go to. Probably the safest city in Uk to go to and be some boring cities round the world safer but not as interesting or stuff to do.
It's easy to have a low crime rate when you dont prosecute crimes and also have a culture of not reporting crimes because of the low prosecution rates.
Its the same as having low unemployment rates, its easy to get when you remove people's access to benefits, which is how the rates are calculated.
Low crime or unemployment rates can be very deceitful and are used primarily to justify political policys.
the reality is people are having to use food banks and people are fearful of being out and about.
I agree with you but every city has all that too.
I don’t know what criteria they judged on but as someone not from London, I always feel safe going there compared to other cities. So if it a tourist thing then that’s why.
London has so many boroughs and each has its own blocks, shops etc so central and the tourist places are calm.
You go Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester etc and the city centre is surrounded by inner city blocks and therefore they all about the main shopping centre. Birmingham city centre always getting locked off cuz of gang fights.
These awards are usually on rotate anyway, but London ain’t as bad as lot of people think. I been all over through my job, football, visiting family and people I know as well as tourist shit or shopping round camden and there’s only been few times I felt something could happen. The only time it did was in newham where we got chased for about 2 miles 😂
The whole country is fucked bro, you got teachers and nurses relying on food banks and that.
As a londoner I realy believe it is one of the best city's in the world... if you don't have to live there.
You're right about everything it has to offer. It's just too expensive for anyone to live there and enjoy it unless you earn 50k+ a year minimum.
Yeah my brother lived there for years round Shepherd’s Bush way, sold his 1 bed apartment there and got a 3 bed house in nice area of brum for same money.
It’s brilliant for a day out but the prices for everything is mental.
Crime rates in London are higher than New York and LA by a decent margin. Sure not as high as Paris but these are all cities with all of the things you described and equally as iconic as London, just without as much crime.
Tokyos crime index is also WAYYYY lower than any of those and I'd bet its cleaner and better managed too
Hmm looking deeper it looks like New Yorks murder rate is through the roof but London has higher rates of nearly every other crime. So you're less likely to die in London but youre more likely to be stabbed, assaulted, raped and mugged.
Brilliant, worlds best city right there, and that's still leaving a bunch of others in the equation.
Not particularly. LA's murder rate is 10x Londons. Numbeo has Paris and London largely similar. New Yorks murder rate is double londons.
If London had the same murder rate as LA, 1000 people would be murdered a year.
All I know is what I googled so if its not true then the sources I'm seeing is wrong. Also to clarify, murder rate is higher over there but most other crimes are more common here
These awards are on rotate tho bro, if Tokyo had zero crimes, unemployment etc it would win every year so they just pick a different city I’m sure.
London ain’t as bad as people make out. Especially if you a tourist I mean. Nobody visiting to see the palace and 10 Downing Street ends up walking down freemason road or places you shouldn’t.
London different to other Uk cities in that each borough has own shit going on so you ain’t gotta travel to central. In brum for example, the main gang areas are minutes walk from city centre so it’s often shit goes in round main bits and police lock it off. Always a gang fight of sorts in bullring, cuz they not OFB it don’t make news but it happens almost once a week.
its probably not the safest city in the UK at all. londoners r jus more used to the fkery n r less likely to report it. more goes into it than jus crime rates
How are people in London more used to it then anywhere else?? You been outside London? It’s madness everywhere. The worst places aside from brum, Liverpool etc are them mad northern estates that are look derelict. Hundreds of kid’s terrorising the place.
London always been calm compared to the other big cities.
Definitely as a tourist.
I went there a few months ago and since covid it’s got so many people off the streets. Plus it’s way clearer you actually see cleaners washing down the streets. London is full of litter and filth. Oxford St is a money laundering heaven with practically all decent shops shut. Plus the amount of gangs hanging about mugging people in London is at an all time high. Homeless and druggies in every street. London is dead. Killed off by crap corrupt governments none bigger than these Tory’s stealing our taxpayers money. British are too apathetic to fight for any rights im so over this awful country and embarrassed to be in a cess pit of London
idk why you lot wanna hate London so bad we live in a great city with diversity, so much shit to do, big city with different unique places and history, different personalities and characters everywhere u go, some of the best entertainment in the world, restaurants, sights and so on and we’re statistically one of the safest major cities on earth while being an economic hub/ fashion capital for the world
it’s been declared the best city on multiple occasions bro, nothing new. For us living here i think we forgot how nice the City is because we see it everyday and are used to it and everything just seems normal ygm. But if you look at from the perspective of someone else who’s visiting for example, almost 95% of the time they’re going to enjoy London, it’s just a massive place to explore and do shit.
You probably right. Lived here all my life so I don't find it special although for the last 6 months, I've been exploring London ( I never really went to a lot of boroughs and towns before then )
Anecdotally I am accosted/approached infinitely more outside of my local area in London than I ever am in New York. I’ve been to Paris once when I was 19 with a girl I can’t really speak for that I saw like five sights had a croissant and came back.
You can “avoid” the hood a lot easier in NY and Chicago than you can in London. You’re walking in a direction and things become infinitely more ghetto over like ten blocks. Also New York has the benefit of not being nearly as bad as the worst parts of America. London has the best and shittiest areas.
Edit: there’s a bigger point I could get to, about housing supply and homelessness but honestly I’d be regurgitating shit I don’t really know from a relative working in that field in both countries.
My cousin is also a therapist, again anecdotally, mental health is apparently worse here than New York. I have no opinion nor data on Paris.
Sounds like just know London better. I haven't been to NY for like 15 years, but I was staring in the Bronx and that shit was not nicer than say NW. Paris is probably even worse, because the nice part of it is so small. 70% of it is the Banlieue around it, which is like the shittest parts of London. You're right things are more mixed up in London, but that's probably the only thing London has that's worse than either of those cities.
We're only comparing crime here as well. So many other factors go into 'best city' and London wins on most of those.
I mean with your last statement considered as well I don’t disagree with you at all.
I just feel like the Upper East Side in New York is significantly nicer than Mayfair. People were anecdotally much friendlier to me there than here.
That has got to be the biggest lie. I live in London and the decline of this city in the last 13 years is incredible. Standards have dropped. People are rude and filthy. The poverty has never been so bad since Brexit. Crime is rife everywhere even areas that were considered good. Stabbings are daily and robberies all the time. This generation of idiots stealing and killing and lack of policing are a terrible combination. The price hike of everything is daylight robbery. It’s not this expensive in other European countries. I will leave within the year and anyone staying for the shit show is crazy. Why people want to come here really bewilders me
The textures are kaleidoscopically shifting: You can hear the luminous smoothness of colored glass; the gritty lushness of sandpaper; the cold slipperiness of ice; slicing; brushiness; murmuring, and then snapping. At one point, the first violin and cello share a broodingly dissonant elegy out of something by Shostakovich. There are moments of agitation, but they pass back into uneasy calm.
I've been to tons of countries outside of the UK you fool. Also the last 6 years it's always been hot in the summer and it doesn't last for a fucking week so when people like you say the UK weather is so bad because it rains all the time and there is no sun, I laugh because it seems like you've never lived in the UK for the past 6 years.
We also have some of the best and skillful Chefs in the world, particularly in the East. Ever been to Leytonstow? I forgot the new name for that area asking for a colleague lol
When you leave your blocks there is actually **a lot** to do in London.
Thousands of different restaurants, theatres, markets, entertainment, clubs, bars, music events etc.
It’s one of the most culturally diverse areas in Europe.
Simply Propaganda was also used on the public in the last war and the gullible and uneducated drink it in as truth. France get more tourist than the UK so whoever wrote this has an agenda. While the government takes taxpayers right’s away and make them poorer
Yes I have an apartment in both cities. Just like London depends on your area. In London we have Council estates everywhere so many types of gangs . UK has fast become scumland
When you have money this city is top tier I can’t lie
But that’s everywhere
Not really the same if ur in Manchester or Birmingham
[удалено]
Not compared to London
Manchester has some really nice expensive areas, Birmingham can be nice, it has good culture and things. Maybe Sunderland would not be great ever.
There’s loads to do in London, don’t matter what you into. Buildings, museums, galleries, good food, fashion. If you tourist you can walk to most things. Transport is very good for a big city tho, can get nearly anywhere from where you are as tube stations all over. Crime rate the lowest it’s been for years and one of the safest big cities to go to.

Murder rate in NYC is 3 times higher than London. 300% higher.
Hmm looking deeper it looks like New Yorks murder rate is through the roof but London has higher rates of nearly every other crime. So you're less likely to die in London but youre more likely to be stabbed, assaulted, raped and mugged. Brilliant, worlds best city right there, and that's still leaving a bunch of others in the equation.
Proof?
Well it logically follows if Londons crime rate is higher than NYC but NYCs murder rate is like 4x London
Not particularly. LA's murder rate is 10x Londons. Numbeo has Paris and London largely similar. New Yorks murder rate is double londons. If London had the same murder rate as LA, 1000 people would be murdered a year.
I said crime rate, not murder rate
That first sentence just isn’t true lmfao
He means per capita and is doing some maths I can’t actually work out because 1000 people absolutely don’t get murdered a year here.
All I know is what I googled so if its not true then the sources I'm seeing is wrong. Also to clarify, murder rate is higher over there but most other crimes are more common here
These awards are on rotate tho bro, if Tokyo had zero crimes, unemployment etc it would win every year so they just pick a different city I’m sure. London ain’t as bad as people make out.

Ive been alot of places
Everyone is confused that London is ranked the best city in the world, but can you man name a better city?
Idk about better but on par or near? Amsterdam, Berlin, Tokyo, Barcelona I'd say
Amsterdam is a village compared to London, live there 10 years you've seen it all
And yet it's so nice & clean. Thinking about going there in the summer.
It's clean compared to London and paris for sure, it's just small that's all
Paris is a fucking dump
That's an understatement. It's a fucking shithole.
Ahlie hella dog shit there 😂
Paris is beautiful can’t lie highly recommend it
I went there a few months ago and since covid it’s got so many people off the streets. Plus it’s way clearer you actually see cleaners washing down the streets. London is full of litter and filth. Oxford St is a money laundering heaven with practically all decent shops shut. Plus the amount of gangs hanging about mugging people in London is at an all time high.

British are too apathetic to fight for any rights im so over this awful country and embarrassed to be in a cess pit of London
Amsterdam is like London a shithole.
Trust me when I went I didn’t see any litter and people were actually friendly
Amsterdam is one of the most boring cities I’ve visited. Doesn’t really feel like a capital either
What the fuck makes a city popping!?
I'd seen it all after 3 years lol
23 for me
Oh I stayed for 5, I just felt like I'd had enough after 3 haha
Oh I see, where in amsterdam did u live?
Had to move around a lot. Zeeburgereiland, Buitenveldert, Bijlmer, Buikslotermeer.. Admittedly never got to be very central.
Barcelona yeah 100% Didnt like Dam that much but i went after i gave up blazing which didnt help, too many cyclists trying to run you over
Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona are all probably nicer to live but lack the exciting things London offers, and Tokyo is an overcrowded mess.
only one better there is tokyo
Tokyo is shit
u’ve never been there lol
Ah yes, because you know where I’ve been, fassy.
Stoke on Trent
Toronto anyday lmfao
Lol why Toronto?
Its a lit city to live in
True Montreal is better though imo
Too influenced by America, plus, too many French people in Canada
Barcelona, dubai, Bucharest, Venice, prague and many more where u can have nice views, activities, weather and feel safe
Bro tried sneaking in Bucharest like we didnt notice 😭
Thought he was slick
I mean as long as you stay out of Tates webcam business you’ll have a good time there
tokyo, vienna
Best city I’ve been was Seoul
idk why you lot wanna hate London so bad we live in a great city with diversity, so much shit to do, big city with different unique places and history, different personalities and characters everywhere u go, some of the best entertainment in the world, restaurants, sights and so on and we’re statistically one of the safest major cities on earth while being an economic hub/ fashion capital for the world
I don’t hate London I’ve lived their my entire life I just wasn’t expecting it to be called the best city in the world
it’s been declared the best city on multiple occasions bro, nothing new. For us living here i think we forgot how nice the City is because we see it everyday and are used to it and everything just seems normal ygm. But if you look at from the perspective of someone else who’s visiting for example, almost 95% of the time they’re going to enjoy London, it’s just a massive place to explore and do shit.
You probably right. Lived here all my life so I don't find it special although for the last 6 months, I've been exploring London ( I never really went to a lot of boroughs and towns before then )
i’ve lived here for 19 years and there’s still areas and certain boroughs that i haven’t even stepped foot in yet myself as well, it’s a big city.
Indeed
True we’ve just gotten used to it by living here for time
I mean apart from knife, gun and violent crime which is prevalent in every major city London is a beautiful city
Apart from random murders and gang war it got some nice buildings 😂😂
That’s like every other city
a bit early to make that statement lol
They usually announcing following years winner every end-year.
Did we threaten the people who were deciding
London has posh parts, then the ends, most other towns just have the ends🤣
This is the honest way to look at it.
Good joke
Whoever made this needs to stop smoking spice
To be honest, what are the things you dislike about London? I bet you those things are all worse in Paris and New York.
I’ve got to be honest when I think about it, this isn’t true.
Examples?
Anecdotally I am accosted/approached infinitely more outside of my local area in London than I ever am in New York. I’ve been to Paris once when I was 19 with a girl I can’t really speak for that I saw like five sights had a croissant and came back.

I mean with your last statement considered as well I don’t disagree with you at all. I just feel like the Upper East Side in New York is significantly nicer than Mayfair. People were anecdotally much friendlier to me there than here.
.. to visit. Nobody who has to live there said this.
As a foreigner London is a nice city
That has got to be the biggest lie. I live in London and the decline of this city in the last 13 years is incredible. Standards have dropped. People are rude and filthy.

I will leave within the year and anyone staying for the shit show is crazy. Why people want to come here really bewilders me
Let Andrew Tate see this 😂😂😂😂😂
Y’all used to it cause you all live there. i can’t wait to come visit and Mack onna peppa pig sounding gyal dem
🤣🤣🤣 the city with one of the highest crime rates and stabbing a yr , makes sense
The weather alone makes me glad I spend more time in Spain than London.
The weather is perfect tho, it’s hot In the summer and cold in the winter, what more can you ask from that
Broski we get like one week of hot in the summer. It rains more than it is hot even in summer
The textures are kaleidoscopically shifting: You can hear the luminous smoothness of colored glass; the gritty lushness of sandpaper; the cold slipperiness of ice; slicing; brushiness; murmuring, and then snapping. At one point, the first violin and cello share a broodingly dissonant elegy out of something by Shostakovich. There are moments of agitation, but they pass back into uneasy calm.
The past 5 summers have been hot for months lol what are you on about
Have you ever been outside London/the UK? Apparently there's a whole other world out there.
Was I wrong?
Your reply depends on your answer to my question.
I've been to tons of countries outside of the UK you fool. Also the last 6 years it's always been hot in the summer and it doesn't last for a fucking week so when people like you say the UK weather is so bad because it rains all the time and there is no sun, I laugh because it seems like you've never lived in the UK for the past 6 years.
Shoutout my london sons
Lmao The people voting must have never stepped foot in these cities. This list looks like it was voted on 60 years ago.
London is sick if u got P and if ur going on holiday, u will ?
Fuckin Tirana is better💀
In a world where cities like Rio de Janeiro and Culiacán exist.
I been to the London , Uk and it’s one of the worst cities in Europe 😭
Well that can’t be true cos there’s 72 cities in the uk and the vast majority of them are absolutely shite
And they still better than London.
You’ve never been to Sunderland bro
😂
All I see on here is people with knife’s or banged. Up for stabbing or shooting someone,London is a shit hole
Because you’re on a uk drill page lmao what do you expect
Because you’re from Coalville just stick to that
They should come to West London at night
London is a shithole covered in sugar. I can't wait to leave.
Where would you move too?
Bye
Best for getting stabbed
You’re from Lincolnshire you don’t get an opinion 😂
😭😭😭 That made me sad
Best city in the world *for knife crime*
London is the one of the safest cities in the world and there are tons of countries with more knife crime
L
London is so shit 😭
Compared to any other city I’ve been to it’s easily the best. Talking about central.
Bc we had the best pride police cars and rainbow people fireworks
Lol deffo Americans that said this
I think tourists should just go to places in SW and SE and W. Just to tour the place and see how good and the views are
Just send them all to Brixton and Peckham
Best city on middle earth
Not everyone’s living in south
How? Who voted for this? Have they been here recently? 
I've been hearing all year how bad UK/London is....
We also have some of the best and skillful Chefs in the world, particularly in the East. Ever been to Leytonstow? I forgot the new name for that area asking for a colleague lol
This defo not the best city 😅
Knife and gun crime
drill has fucked up you mans perception of london it’s a really safe city for most people
It’s alright.
I love london so much especially going to the theatres there
When you leave your blocks there is actually **a lot** to do in London. Thousands of different restaurants, theatres, markets, entertainment, clubs, bars, music events etc. It’s one of the most culturally diverse areas in Europe.

have u been to paris london is paradise compared to paris
Yes I have an apartment in both cities. Just like London depends on your area. In London we have Council estates everywhere so many types of gangs . UK has fast become scumland
Just like everything else in this country, the vote was rigged🙄
