- London versus New York City
These iconic cities are often compared, and they do have a lot of similarities. But in our competition, there can be only one winner.
Green space
Both London and New York have fair amount of parks and gardens. But there is a reason why New York is often called a concrete jungle. London is actually made up of 62% green space versus New York's 14%.
Yes, New York has the iconic Central Park, but London parks are more evenly distributed across the city, and they’re just better designed. London parks have ponds, outdoor theatres and cafes. Not to mention all the smaller gardens and green squares you can find in London.
So, when it comes to green areas, the score is one nil, London wins.

First reply
New York City is a sh!thole. London is an actual clean and civilized city
London Sucks Melbourne Wins
London was literally drinking poo water for around 90 years.
London looks like a city that tried to modernise but gave up mid way with shitty, ugly & horrible modern buildings and lack of funding.
Both decent cities but London has everything NY has got but has history
London has bad history full of murder and colonialism
Yes but don't forget London's knife crimes and no go areas
@@adrianbenn7250 yes but don't forget thats rubbish.
@@adrianbenn7250 Knife crime is honestly overhyped, the average Londoner will never see it. It's mainly gangs in specific small areas fighting eachother. Ive lived in London for a decade and have never had any run in with people with knives.
Tokyo is better than both of these cities
Central Park is cool, but the parks in London are amazing.
London is Green.
not as green as south indian cities
@@buttorr cities?! You mean chennai bangalore?.
@@skillage90 yes those cities are extremely green.
@@buttorrbut the people are rude😢
@@buttorr are you joking?. Can you show me a tree in those cities? I am from chennai. Maybe you can say around the cities.
Yes also London is 1700 years older than New York . London has Pubs (public houses) older than America herself.
Egypt has older stuff so that means Egypt wins
@@estelalopez3563why do you have to keep bringing up Egypt?
@@illyaedwards7188They have to because England has civilisation remains that are actually older than anything in Egypt.
@@knottymaker3904 good point.
@@darksoulsgt5006 they arent stolen. Britian won them.
With around 8.4 million threes, London is classified as a forest.
That's 25.2 million.
with around 3milion muslims London is classified as Londonistan
Yes, it has enough tree cover to be classified as a forest, which is great. But _technically_, it is not "classified" as a forest because the UN definition of a forest requires it to be not primarily for purposes of living or something along those lines I think.
@@slavniserbskithat’s beautiful though
@@lecdi6062I think it gets the designation as 'urban forest' which I assume is basically a forest that isnt for that purpose (I assume, I don't actually know I've just seen it be called urban forest)

God bless New York City,
I live the South Island of new Zealand, here I can just go for a walk where I am at and walk 3 hours north on a mountain side beech without anyone and then walk back. Now that is a great sunday here in orepuki new Zealand
Thank you I an from NYC

Take the subway for once.
Central Park is one well designed park, but London is great at them. London was once the greatest city on Earth before modern times, and was very nice and English. You can see some archives of it back then. The London we all want.
Go, London😊

London is ancient

Yes ah but you are quite right Jerusalem is much older and indeed steeped in history ( like London) 😊
London ❤
I love how dense NYC is I've walked the long side of Manhattan several times (takes a few hours of walking). NYC has nearly everything you'd want in a city tho other than history. Lots of museums, art galleries, restaurants, clubs/bars, Central park & pocket parks, rooftop spaces, event rooms, recreation/game centers... and on the transit side you've got the subway and buses (could be way better tbh), bike lanes... I'm also personally a fan of the grid. Easy to tell someone I'm on "23rd street and 7th avenue" rather than some random street name
London also has everything you want in a City, and London has more Museums and parks.
@@illyaedwards7188 London is nice but it’s too spread out for me
I've lived in London I love it to bits and it's my mums favourite place bless her,but when I visited nyc last month I absolutely loved it and never loved a place like it booked again for next year,in saying that that imo London does that to others,2 great cities
wherever u walk in london u see green
NYC is nothing like London. London sprawls out over hundreds of square miles, while NYC is centered on a tiny island. London vs LA makes more sense.
That's just not true, NYC sprawls out so far it engulfed Newark. The only difference is London incorporates the sprawl into the city, whereas NYC treats it as different places. Look at Long Island.
I guess you have never been to NYC.
@@kozmickarmakoala3526 No, just going by the facts.
nyc has 5 boroughs bud, and it’s spread out. the main boroughs are much more dense than others
@@madjanetramerez2383 It took me < 30 seconds to Google that NYC is 302.6 square miles, less than half the size of London, which is 607 square miles.
Even WITHOUT the green space, London wins EVERY time- it’s got 2000 years of history! End of! But I am a Londoner born and bred!
Egypt wins
@@estelalopez3563Egypt is horrid
@@estelalopez3563indian ancient civilization wins😂 if that would be the basis to decide which city is better
@@techneon1873India ain't the oldest civilization.
Why the heck does 2,000 years of history matter? I'm not trying to become an expertin the city's history, I just wanna live my best life possible.
And London has lots of former plague pits covered in grass … eg opposite Harrod’s! As well as former royal hunting grounds - Richmond Park still has deer. The Oval cricket ground still has a little Henry VIII hunting lodge next to it.
One day I would love to go to New York even though I live in London and has way more HISTORY then New York because London goes back to 800-900AD so yeah.
London was actually founded by the Romans just after the time of Christ. There are Roman remains.
Also worth mentioning that there are many places in outer London that still receive the benefits of being part of the city such as the Underground but feel like somewhere in the countryside
I love London way more than NY. Can't wait to go back! (Canada here)
i like nyc better mainly because the food is better.
Thank you ! Would love to visit Canada one day
@@buttorrFacts
@@buttorrLondon has more diversity in cuisine
@@buttorrthe food is better in London now
London is so packed with greenery that it's technically a forest. The only thing stopping that from being official is that it's a large urban area.
Both are amazing cities with their advantages and disadvantages. I prefer London, with it's more 'European styling', but I understand why others may prefer the sheer size of New York. Love to both
London is twice as big as New York, unless you mean the size of the buildings.
the problem with many folk is that they place Europe as that which is the standard. Europe isn't.
Americans love their city and Europeans love their city.
I love New York and the vibe, maybe even more that London but to live in one of them, London. It’s just so much calmer.
Isn’t there less people in London
@estelalopez3563 wrong, London’s population is higher, but it’s just got a better atmosphere and is better overall
@@Fulham-Fan first of all, only by a couple of hundred of thousands. and, to this America, NY is just better overall.
@@darylsledge1456Look up ‘best city in the world’, and almost everywhere you look, London is the best city in the world. I bet you’re just an American that’s upset that the best city in the world isn’t in your country.
@@Fulham-Fan NAH, because if you live in a city, where even the public transportation isn't 24 hours, then you can't be the best city in the world. Peace!
oh, by the way, I live in the country that tells your country what to do. Now, how about that for a so-called "special relationship".
London is the best
But you only showed Central Park in Manhattan. NYC is five boroughs and surrounded by 42 islands and 1700 parks.
Ok… Greater London has 32 boroughs and over 3,000 parks.
Still pathetic
@@btmorley833 AND, NYC HAS THE HIGER GDP. WINK.
My beloved London❤
I honestly want to live in America and maybe New York but lots of people say that I shouldn’t 😅
London is actually classed as a forest because of the amount of trees planted along the streets as well of the parks.
Classified by who? The government? Why would they classify a city as a forest? What purpose would that serve?
That's actually a common misconception because the definition says that forests can't be in urban areas
@@pcbassoon3892the UN classification. The forestry commission of London then later confirmed.
They state that the amount of trees and wildlife makes it a forest.
@@markimoss9890what definition?
The only definition that really matters is the forestry commissions cos they are the experts who actually study and care for forests
I still choose New York City, this channel is from the UK of course it’s going to pick London

@@starofdabloc Yes could be an American living in London and making these videos.

Most green spaces in London are private
@@estelalopez3563true point, so many places are private
I from NYC. I visited Manchester for a day and London for a week. I didn't get to see London the way I know NYC.

In a fight between two cities,
Traffic jam always win.
I have been in both cities and here is my opinion: if you think skyscrapers are the most attractive things to see and you just want to have fun then go to New York. If you are interested in beautiful, ancient buildings, history/culture in general AND want to have fun then go to London.
To me, there is no competition. London wins!
Both cities are great, but NYC is practically better in all aspects, but the thing is you’re comparing London to Manhattan and not NYC, if you were correctly comparing them you wouldn’t be missing on the fact Long Island, the Bronx, Yonkers, Jersey City, Hoboken and its surroundings exist. More architectural diversity than London for sure, maybe not as much parks, still a lot
London wins Praise be to Jesus.
@@tameriajones593 NYC>>>>
New York is the best.
It's all subjective. London would win hands down though on a 10,000 vote contest by people who know both cities well but not native to either imo
I would bet a large sum of money on it np
@@salus1231 I mean usually everybody js like sometimes mostly votes on the city or place that they live in yk
Exactly New York city is the best
@@salus1231 Bruh everything London does New York does better.
You have to account more than just the parks in Manhattan, NY. There are some huge, great parks in the other boroughs.
I love Central Park though
Team NYC👇
Been to both many times
NY is impressive but London is the Gran daddy
Cleaner , everything works better
And more efficient
Now do Los Angeles where it’s an entire metro area of ugly concrete and the parks are all ugly and have dead plants because it never rains
Both cest pools
Cities in Europe will always be better than any city in the country of cars
Berlin is a dogshit city so this is a lie
Nyc is probably the only city in america that is the least car dependent but depending where u live in nyc definitely matters 😬
Not to mention how people drives here lmao
@@fewkeyfewkey5414 he still got train and bicycles to cut that traffic lol
i like how europeans often make fun of americans for thinking they’re the best but literally the only time i see people thinking they’re the best is europeans😭
“York vs New York”
I’ve been to both cities. New York is a concrete jungle with a dirty subway system and rude staff. London is so freakin green with parks and gardens everywhere and the underground is clean safe reliable with a friendly and helpful staff.
London and NY Equally have significant amounts of green spaces and also carbon emissions.😮
LONDON IS 1000x better than NYC
At being ass yes
A million times better. NYC is a sh!thole
Both cities are terrible
@@estelalopez3563 London is not terrible. It's civilized. NYC is terrible and uncivilized. Maybe you just don't like cities. London is pretty amazing city.
Nah New York city is 2000x better than london.
London is beautiful
father vs son.
When it comes to Skyscraper the score is 1-0. New York wins. In our competition there can only be one winner the skyscraper!!!!
NYC is best
I went to NYC every year for twelve years as part of my job and I can tell you that NYC is not even a close 10th to London.
@@knottymaker3904these people probably haven’t even visited know ny yet they still talk like they were experts
London is as green as Sarawak, is so beautiful! I love the UK, from Sarawak
And the best thing about London is; Paris! 😂😂
London is just better. It’s not even a close competition.
No it isn’t. More people like NY. London food also sucks ass
nah nyc is way better imo
New York city is way better than london. It's not even a close competition.
@@notyouraveragenoob4871why?
@Gfynbcyiokbg8710 better subway system, better parks, better skyline, better food and so on also this isn't even fair London is almost 2x bigger than nyc
New York hands down best city in the world.
At what? Crime, poor infrastructure, pollution Maybe. Isn’t even top 10 for most museums. Way off for everything else.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ez So, London has lots of crime too. People getting stabbed and robbed out there.
Infrastructure in the city is top notch. Besides the subways. That shit could use some work for sure. But in everything else high rises, bridges, tunnels, roads New York >>> London.
Pollution in New York is the exact same as in London. Go look it for yourself. If you don’t believe me.
Also, the MET in New York is considered to be among the top 3 museums in the world after the louvre in France and some other museum in Russia. Not to mention the MOMA is up there etc. you just don’t know shit.
@@daxtynminn3415London is definitely better than New York, London has ancient buildings history and culture and London also has the best parks in the world, and when it comes to bridges nothing compares to tower bridge, and also the tower of London which dates back to 1078, and also the British museum is the greatest museum in the world along with the Victoria and Albert museum, and St Paul's is one of the great cathedrals of the world, clearly you don't know shit because London is the greatest city in the world.
@@illyaedwards7188NYC has much more architectural diversity, and having “ancient” buildings gets dull fast. Museums are pretty much equally as good, and the overall activities in New York are a lot more. London loses, it’s got a lot less going on
@@corvettesareneat1274 did you just say New York has more architectural diversity 😂😂😂 most of New York's skyscrapers are ugly looking, and Londons Skyscrapers look much better and there all very different from each other, if you like a concrete jungle then good for you, but London has so many of the greatest parks in the world, greatest theaters in the world, the greatest bridge in the world, and one of the greatest cathedrals in the world and so many historical buildings like Shakespeare's globe, there's definitely a lot more activities in London and that's a fact, New York easily loses this one.
Not to mention each borough has their own smaller parks too
Thank you so much my name is London and you say my country went thank you. I was subscribing like like and subscribe to him.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
City no need green space
Need green space go village not city 😅
Ever heard of air pollution?
London beats NYC any day. Not saying London is perfect but it’s less crowded, cleaner, safer, buildings are more beautiful, and free museums!
Nearly every nice city anywhere relies on New York in some way. It is the most important city in the world-you can look it up. It's not beautiful like London with its trees and parks, but it has everything London does, just more extreme. London has 300 languages; New York has 800, more than any city anywhere. It also has more food, more skyscrapers, more everything. Plus, it's the headquarters of the United Nations.
@@Ajokeiguess 'skyscrapers' and the 'United Nations' are negligible. New York's population has lost over 600,000 people since 2020. It has a homicide rate of around ~3 per 100,000 people -- it may not sound like a lot, but is higher than any capital on the European continent. Deploying your national guard to protect the metro system in your country's No. 1 city is unprecedented in any developed nation on the planet. New York is not livable. And livability is what makes a city great.
@@cherriepie Absolutely, new York is a hellhole with death, murder, and crime. But at the same time, It's where dreams are made, where cultures collide and create something uniquely American. Livability is important, sure, but greatness isn't just about comfort-it's about energy, diversity, and opportunity.
In New York, you can either be rich and famous, or poor and homeless, a number of people know this and move in only to fail, lose their home, their mind, and their money. There is no other city anywhere in the world where people have as big of an opportunity and as big of a risk, the homelessness and crime is a direct result of its importance and size.
@@Ajokeiguess It is usually only a small number of privileged people that achieve these 'dreams' that are usually are from rich families beforehand, to imply New York is some kind of special exception in which a family in The Bronx on $20K can make it to being millionaires easily is far fetched. New York is no more socially-mobile than many capitals on the planet. I could argue Stockholm is more socially mobile than New York because Sweden's former president started out as a welder and became the president. A city full of death, murder, homelessness and crime is _not_ a good thing, and is a failure of the state.
London
London wins.
Pls Los Angeles VS San Francisco
Central Park alone has all those things you mentioned. Clearly no actual substantive research was done. Not to mention NYC has beaches and entire inter-coastal waterways with nature preserved… perhaps you should looks at NYC parks, neighborhood parks, state parks, state preserves, etc. You don’t even mention Prospect Park for crying out loud.. which is bigger than Centra Park and also designed by Vaux & Olmsted. 😂 It’s apples to oranges. Lastly the “city of London” is a massive area where NYC is strictly the 5 boroughs. If NYC treated its boundaries like London does, it would include The Palisades, Gateway Recreational Area, Great Swamp National Refuge, and well into upstate with loads more green space. We even have an entire island dedicated to park space now with no vehicles on it (Governor’s Island). Lastly, NYC never needed heaps of green space because we have all of our state and national parks nearby with pristine preserved unspoiled nature. New Yorkers go upstate to the Catskills, Hudson River Valley, Northern NJ lakes, the Hamptons, etc. if they actually want nature. The US has so much preserved and well-loved nature that even the largest of cities don’t have to overcompensate with manmade urban parks which take up critical space. ..why would Bermuda build a massive saltwater lake in the middle of the island if it was already surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean…?
You know nothing 😂 The city of London, is often called the square mile because it is tiny. And even if you only count central london, thats still 40% compared to 29 000 acres of parks and open spaces and 17 200 acres of beaches, waterfront parks and natural areas and preserves you get 24% of land area ( all figures from the City of New York and thats including a lot of NYC that is not at all central)
And that whole second argument you make that people can just go out of the city for nature is so ignorant. Most people don't have the time or money to spend a large part of their day or weekend going to and from these places
The city of London is different than London, and the city of London is tiny. A square mile. You have the brain of a black person
@@Gfynbcyiokbg8710it’s an hour drive from lower manhattan to one of the nicest state parks in New York, or, as most people would do when they want a break from work, they can simply go to Central Park. Most people have money and time for both of those.
@@Ajokeiguess Oh yeah because NYC is famous for having extremely high car ownership rates and absolutely Zero poor people
Central Park is Iconic. So New York wins, for people from Asia.
