Brits living abroad. I lived in London for 15 years before moving to continental Europe. There is no other city like London. It’s a magnificent melting pot where different cultures meet and flourish. London is the only city that I chose to live in and I’m a proud Londoner. I still go home regularly. There is so much to do and to see there. Yes, absolute world class!
I am from Malaysia but been in London for over 40 years. Love the greatness of London. The city which is my home has everything I ever want at my doorsteps. The people are interesting, tolerant and inclusive. Fantastic city
@@Κύμη I can say that I have not knowingly experienced racism in multi cultural London. I worked in the health servie and find that everyone is treated equally by their merit not the colour of their skin. I may have experinced bias behaviour from some non white people. In general, Londoners and British people alike are very liberal and fair. Very decent people. I must say I experienced more racism in the country I came from i.e. Malaysia.
@@kwonguk im from Italy and i can't forget what i saw during the last match of the European football championship. English supporters that spitted on the italian flag and put It under their feet. I have never seen italians doing the same with the British flag! I didn't Imagine we were so hated there. By the way as a Kid i read some articles of " readers digest" from 1972 that wrote that italians immigrants there were considered ranks below english people. I didn't Imagine London society to be so racist.
@@Against-Modern-Errors Lots to see, for example, cathedrals in Valletta. Activities include diving. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Nightlife in Paceville. Don;t forget our sister island Gozo for beaches and nature.
I arrived in 1999, too! Only returned to NZ in 2003 to raise our family as Kiwis. We are planning to come back, now that our children are almost adults.
I can't describe how i love this city, in my opinion is the best in the world. Finance, trasports, story, services and a lot of other things at the top.
Outstanding explanation. Covering everything. I'm from Kensington and Chelsea in London. As a kid, I loved walking around it. There was so much to see and do. I've lived all over the world; but NOTHING compares to London. Thanks for your superb information. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
You're from Kensington and Chelsea. Code for being stinkingly rich and privileged. The average Londoner does not grow up or live in the same stratosphere as yourself. Life is tough and getting tough for the average to lower earning Londoners. We're being squeezed out and many are okay with this due to the daily stress levels many endure economically... quality of life is getting lower and lower.

Lived here for half my life now and I was too blind to see all the great things it has probably because I don't really go out much. It's quite expensive but there are opportunities here that we can utilize to learn, earn and live well as long as we are willing. I am a part of the street dance community of London and it's the best in the world in terms of vibes and creativity. It is so diverse and everyone is really creative compared to many other dance communities where it's all about winning a competition. Here, it's more about respect and good vibes. I studied at Greenwich University and although it's ranked quite low in the rankings, I never got tired of it and their new library is absolutely amazing. Because of this video, I am seeing London in a new light.
Wow London has so much to be proud of!!!! this video is full of information, the music is amazing, the explanation is amazing also very well editing love from singapore

As a Londoner for the major part of my life I’ve a love/hate relationship with this city. It can be very frustrating, expensive and overcrowded with millions of tourists but also very invigorating and beautiful in the best areas. Possibly the food capital of the world when it comes to choice and variety. There are many European cites more beautiful in the central areas but in the end London truly is the greatest city on earth.
I am a European now living in the US, i have lived in Austria and Germany and Balkans. Now i live in the US and i visited NYC few weeks ago for the first time. I could say for sure that NYC and London are the two most important cities in the western world and London seems like the more connected one with the rest of the world. Yet both cities similar in magnitude of importance grandeur and influence
i’ve lived here all my life and i can’t agree more. granted it has its issues and can often be unequal, crime-filled, and rainy, however all of what you mentioned trumps that to a ridiculous level. this is reflected in the fact that London has one of the highest human development scores in the world with an HDI of 0.971 as of 2018 (1.000 is the best possible). quick aside you got one of the tube facts wrong. the city & south london railway didn’t open in 1863 it opened in 1890. however what did open in 1863 was the metropolitan railway which is also now a part of the underground but it just opened as a steam train (giving you an idea of how ridiculously old it is)
@Karl Foxlow Agreed. I was born within the sound of Bow Bells but I won't be staying. I'll be selling up and moving out. London is not the city it once was on a number of points.

@thesmoker2118Could not be further from the truth, London was built by commerce, trade and capitalism. Its even the reason why the city looks like it does unlike cities such as Paris built to please the eye, London wasted no time with such frivolities there was money to be made.
@@Rizzy-Bizzy20 That town is not a city. It's not world class in any stretch of the imagination. It lacks public transportation and culture. Dubai is simply filth.
London really rewards those who walk. It is the best way to see the city. On the way to work, I would get off one tube stop early, just so I could walk past St Pauls Cathedral before grabbing a coffee and arriving at work.
Maybe when he was alive 300 years ago. Ain’t worth praising it if you know what life’s like a mere 50-60 miles away from the capital. And you’ve been there..........

I lived un London from 18yrs - 35yrs - I love the place and miss it but visit often . Unfortunately, I had to relocate to a more affordable city to buy my own place and have secure accommodation. Let's face it, one has to be rather wealthy to fully enjoy and to fully integrate into London.
I fully disagree on this statement. There are many and in majorty people who say they have better LIFE in many big towns of Germany and France, then they would in London.
I'm an American and London is on my bucket list to visit. I plan to be a typical tourist visiting the historic places. I love history and London is history.
London is a city steeped in history, offering numerous historical sites to explore. Here are some must-visit historical attractions in London: 1. Tower of London: Built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, the Tower of London has served as a royal palace, prison, and treasury. Explore its fascinating history, including the Crown Jewels and the famous ravens. 2. Westminster Abbey: A UNESCO World Heritage site, Westminster Abbey is a magnificent Gothic church where many kings and queens have been crowned, married, and buried. It's also the final resting place of notable figures like Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. 3. Buckingham Palace: The official residence of the British monarch, Buckingham Palace is an iconic landmark in London. Witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony and explore the State Rooms during the summer months. 4. British Museum: Discover a vast collection of art and artifacts from around the world at the British Museum. Highlights include the Rosetta Stone, Egyptian mummies, Greek sculptures, and the Elgin Marbles. 5. St. Paul's Cathedral: Designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London, St. Paul's Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece. Climb to the top of the dome for panoramic views of the city. 6. Houses of Parliament and Big Ben: Admire the Gothic-style architecture of the Houses of Parliament, where the British government meets. Although currently under renovation, the iconic clock tower known as Big Ben is a prominent London landmark. 7. The British Library: Explore one of the largest libraries in the world, housing historical documents such as the Magna Carta, Gutenberg Bible, and original manuscripts by famous authors like Shakespeare and Jane Austen. 8. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: Experience the atmosphere of an Elizabethan playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, a faithful reconstruction of the original theater where Shakespeare's plays were performed. 9. The Museum of London: Dive into the history of London from prehistoric times to the present day at the Museum of London. Learn about the city's Roman origins, medieval period, and modern developments. 10. Greenwich: Visit the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, where you can stand on the Prime Meridian and explore the history of navigation. Don't miss the magnificent Painted Hall and the Cutty Sark, a restored 19th-century tea clipper. These are just a few of the many historical attractions London has to offer. Whether you're interested in ancient history, royal heritage, or literary landmarks, there's something for everyone in this vibrant city.
@@cresengcianamagsino7043 Work-life in China or Japan is absolutely terrible. It needs to be balanced you see. It can't just be cutting edge or futuristic, it needs to be human-friendly too.
London is a fantastic city, and I did live there for a time, but I have now moved to another part of the UK. Obenof the reasons being just how expensive the rents are, you get absolutely nothing for your money, even in the poorest parts of the city unless you are in council/ social housing. Also, the wealth and clasa divide in London is sickening, and it is no coincidence that the wealthier the neighbourhood, the less welcoming and friendly it is. Try fitting in in places like Chelsea, Mayfair or Knightsbridge if you dont have money or a high social class.
Nearly 70 nowadays, not born or bred in London but lived in this truly amazing city most of my life. I was born on 90 miles away and my grandfather used to bring me to London late 60s/70s and I feel in love with it. Great video glad all photos or shots are of this great city. Things have changed of course and this video points London as utopia which it certainly is not but it’s a good city. We have many things wrong which need to be mentioned 1) crime is high in London especially petty crime not mass killings 2) cleanliness- the city itself can be dirty but compared to many cities it’s actually not too bad but still needs addressing 3) weather- can be very grey in London many a day during the year. Summers can be very humid with virtually no air condition. 4) transportation- very old, extensive but needs new lines. It’s not easy going from east to west outer London. All major transport including roads head towards inner London There are more negatives but to be honest the positives outstrip the negatives. London in my eyes is still dynamic, diverse, fast, historic, interesting, theatrical, music, foods, markets, bustling streets, sporting venues like no other and year round events, in other words it has something for everyone. London right now is struggling yet in its history it has high n lows yet remains a world city in it own right.
living, studied and worked in London for 36 years. It is a greay city, lovely people, good service, amazing entertainment, vast green areas, easy transport sustem, internayional travel center.. Love this country. Lovr this City.❤
Not a Londoner but born and bred in the suburbs surrounding London, in my case Hertfordshire. I love how hard this video goes in proving London’s greatness and I agree. I’m not sure New Yorkers would! Lol
London destroys New York lets be real here. Far more history & culture, cleaner city, has better music venues & more festivals, better job opportunities, cheaper housing (although still expensive obviously), better infrastructure, much better walkability and London’s transportation system simply blows New York’s out the water.
seriously who on earth wrote the copy for this - it hurts. The repetition of the same words from one sentence to the other... London is this. London is this. London is this.
The most tolerated cities in the entire world. Get into public transport and you know what I mean. We ( Emigrants complaints) but have to appreciate how English treated us. I personally appreciate every bits of it.
Many Brits cimplain that the UK economy is far too London oriented, but having lived there, it is its diverse population and culture that makes it interesting. It is like a ghost town at Christmas, when many leave to go home.
Hello thanks for the video. It's interesting you say. "London is best for you" when"(I'm paraphrasing) you have money"
You got it 👍

I agree that London is the best city in the world and I love the United Kingdom and the English language. Love from Greece 🇬🇷♥️🇬🇧
What a City!
I have some technical issues, So I'm unable to upload videos but I try my best to come back as soon as possible until then enjoy our other videos, ALESAF World will come soon.
@The smoker the uk is a socialist country? Cos it has free healthcare 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 your definitely an American
@The smoker Smoker - what are you smoking?
@thesmoker2118Could not be further from the truth, London was built by commerce, trade and capitalism. Its even the reason why the city looks like it does unlike cities such as Paris built to please the eye, London wasted no time with such frivolities there was money to be made.
@thesmoker2118😂 Stop smoking crack!… The UK is not a socialist country and socialism is a terrible system that doesn’t work and not sustainable.
Absolutely, london is the no 1 city on the planet, outclassing other powerful cities like, new-york, paris, tokyo, singapore, dubai, LA, hong-kong, san-francisco, shanghai, moscow, monte-carlo, milan, madrid, frankfurt, oslo, zurich,sydney, toronto,miami, geneva, rome, auckland, melbourne, montreal, las-vegas, ontario, dublin, seoul, osaka, copenhagen, doha, abu-dhabi, beijing, mumbai ,shenzen, stockolm, brussels, amsterdam, helsinki, munich, taipei, chicago, etc.
Agreed - although a few of those place names are countries, not cities 😉
You have some nerve putting Dubai and Abu Dhabi on that list. Those cities are for clowns.
@@thebabbler8867 well dubai is a very very nice city
In some ways but there are plenty of things I’d prefer in other cities as well. Top 5 for sure though
@@Rizzy-Bizzy20 That town is not a city. It's not world class in any stretch of the imagination. It lacks public transportation and culture. Dubai is simply filth.
The London 2012 Olympic Games....the Best Ever.
Yup
I think London is the greatest city in the world
thanks
London is the world's best city , I'm afraid .
London is great city
keep it up
Thanks for your support
WTF JESSICA
It’s a wonderful city. I love to just walk or cycle around aimlessly. Always find something new.
That's eco-friendly
London really rewards those who walk. It is the best way to see the city. On the way to work, I would get off one tube stop early, just so I could walk past St Pauls Cathedral before grabbing a coffee and arriving at work.
You did nt mention Insurance. Lloyds of London is the Insurance center for the world.
Because london has so many things but I unable to tell all of them in single 17 minutes video.
@@ALESAFWorld The Price of both Gold and Silver are set in London everyday, Globally. etc etc. Looking forward to any Part II of this video! :)
Also home for football
@@edinshealtiel3754 The home for football is technically Cambridge as that is where the Rules were invented.

Nice quote
Maybe when he was alive 300 years ago. Ain’t worth praising it if you know what life’s like a mere 50-60 miles away from the capital. And you’ve been there..........

London is magical to me ❤
Not only to you!
its a very international city what surprises you is the amount of green space , I like the mix of buildings I think it certainly could be the most influential city . its a very interesting city

I lived un London from 18yrs - 35yrs - I love the place and miss it but visit often . Unfortunately, I had to relocate to a more affordable city to buy my own place and have secure accommodation. Let's face it, one has to be rather wealthy to fully enjoy and to fully integrate into London.
Work hard until you get what you want
@@ALESAFWorld I did and still do work hard as a front line NHS keyworker who are priced out of the London housing market.
Watching from London 😌😌
If a man is tired of London then he's tired in life ....🥰🥰🥰
Nice comment
I fully disagree on this statement. There are many and in majorty people who say they have better LIFE in many big towns of Germany and France, then they would in London.
Thanks for this informative video 💐🇬🇧🇱🇰
My pleasure
Proud to be a Londoner 🇬🇧🤍
Me too and a Millwall fan 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
You are absolutely right. Thank you am proud ànd pleased of London.
Thanks for your comments
I'm proud to be British in every single way 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Absolutely, British first, then English unlike those filthy dirty Jocks who don't class themselves as British, Millwall FC till I die 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
We need Riyadh or Dubai video
Maybe Dubai soon
I'm an American and London is on my bucket list to visit. I plan to be a typical tourist visiting the historic places. I love history and London is history.
London is a city steeped in history, offering numerous historical sites to explore. Here are some must-visit historical attractions in London:
1. Tower of London: Built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, the Tower of London has served as a royal palace, prison, and treasury. Explore its fascinating history, including the Crown Jewels and the famous ravens.
2. Westminster Abbey: A UNESCO World Heritage site, Westminster Abbey is a magnificent Gothic church where many kings and queens have been crowned, married, and buried. It's also the final resting place of notable figures like Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.
3. Buckingham Palace: The official residence of the British monarch, Buckingham Palace is an iconic landmark in London. Witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony and explore the State Rooms during the summer months.
4. British Museum: Discover a vast collection of art and artifacts from around the world at the British Museum. Highlights include the Rosetta Stone, Egyptian mummies, Greek sculptures, and the Elgin Marbles.
5. St. Paul's Cathedral: Designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London, St. Paul's Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece. Climb to the top of the dome for panoramic views of the city.
6. Houses of Parliament and Big Ben: Admire the Gothic-style architecture of the Houses of Parliament, where the British government meets. Although currently under renovation, the iconic clock tower known as Big Ben is a prominent London landmark.
7. The British Library: Explore one of the largest libraries in the world, housing historical documents such as the Magna Carta, Gutenberg Bible, and original manuscripts by famous authors like Shakespeare and Jane Austen.
8. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre: Experience the atmosphere of an Elizabethan playhouse at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, a faithful reconstruction of the original theater where Shakespeare's plays were performed.
9. The Museum of London: Dive into the history of London from prehistoric times to the present day at the Museum of London. Learn about the city's Roman origins, medieval period, and modern developments.
10. Greenwich: Visit the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, where you can stand on the Prime Meridian and explore the history of navigation. Don't miss the magnificent Painted Hall and the Cutty Sark, a restored 19th-century tea clipper.
These are just a few of the many historical attractions London has to offer. Whether you're interested in ancient history, royal heritage, or literary landmarks, there's something for everyone in this vibrant city.
@@ALESAFWorld Thank you. I swear to visit during my lifetime.
You could spend a whole day in a museum.
London is indeed the world capital
Greatest city on the planet
Thanks for your comments
this video was really impressive!
Thanks
London, simply the best out of the best
Thanks for your comments
A cultured city
The world's greatest city.
There is a saying that says: you will get tired of living before you get tired of London. aloxi
The king of cities 👑
Yeah
@@ALESAFWorld Thanks for your reply
Your welcome
Not now Shanghai and other asian cities too..go to Shanghai and you will amaze how futuristic Shanghai is even tokyo
@@cresengcianamagsino7043 Work-life in China or Japan is absolutely terrible. It needs to be balanced you see. It can't just be cutting edge or futuristic, it needs to be human-friendly too.
It's awesome
Thanks
London is a fantastic city, and I did live there for a time, but I have now moved to another part of the UK. Obenof the reasons being just how expensive the rents are, you get absolutely nothing for your money, even in the poorest parts of the city unless you are in council/ social housing. Also, the wealth and clasa divide in London is sickening, and it is no coincidence that the wealthier the neighbourhood, the less welcoming and friendly it is. Try fitting in in places like Chelsea, Mayfair or Knightsbridge if you dont have money or a high social class.
Every large city in the world has class divides. This isn’t unique to London.
@katesleuth1156 London has a more stark class divide than most cities in Europe, not saying it doesnt exist in other cities though.
@@rjflores438 OK.
Nearly 70 nowadays, not born or bred in London but lived in this truly amazing city most of my life. I was born on 90 miles away and my grandfather used to bring me to London late 60s/70s and I feel in love with it.
Great video glad all photos or shots are of this great city.
Things have changed of course and this video points London as utopia which it certainly is not but it’s a good city. We have many things wrong which need to be mentioned
1) crime is high in London especially petty crime not mass killings
2) cleanliness- the city itself can be dirty but compared to many cities it’s actually not too bad but still needs addressing
3) weather- can be very grey in London many a day during the year. Summers can be very humid with virtually no air condition.
4) transportation- very old, extensive but needs new lines. It’s not easy going from east to west outer London. All major transport including roads head towards inner London
There are more negatives but to be honest the positives outstrip the negatives. London in my eyes is still dynamic, diverse, fast, historic, interesting, theatrical, music, foods, markets, bustling streets, sporting venues like no other and year round events, in other words it has something for everyone.
London right now is struggling yet in its history it has high n lows yet remains a world city in it own right.
Every great city has its cons, but London’s cons just don’t go as deep. That’s why it’s the best city in the world
So many put their own country down - Awesome London, Awesome GB ✌✌
living, studied and worked in London for 36 years. It is a greay city, lovely people, good service, amazing entertainment, vast green areas, easy transport sustem, internayional travel center..
Love this country. Lovr this City.❤
Thanks for your comments
My dear London absolutely TOP and beautiful City ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
❤
Not a Londoner but born and bred in the suburbs surrounding London, in my case Hertfordshire. I love how hard this video goes in proving London’s greatness and I agree. I’m not sure New Yorkers would! Lol
London destroys New York lets be real here. Far more history & culture, cleaner city, has better music venues & more festivals, better job opportunities, cheaper housing (although still expensive obviously), better infrastructure, much better walkability and London’s transportation system simply blows New York’s out the water.
It is simply, the greatest city in the world and always has been !
Thanks for your comment
seriously who on earth wrote the copy for this - it hurts. The repetition of the same words from one sentence to the other... London is this. London is this. London is this.
lol
London's a dangerous cesspit
The most tolerated cities in the entire world. Get into public transport and you know what I mean. We ( Emigrants complaints) but have to appreciate how English treated us. I personally appreciate every bits of it.

Most powerful city in the world
Yep
New York city is powerful city in the world
Many Brits cimplain that the UK economy is far too London oriented, but having lived there, it is its diverse population and culture that makes it interesting.
It is like a ghost town at Christmas, when many leave to go home.
The city of longhost
Launder your money? Best city in the world.
Sorry, but today, New York is the most influential City in the World.
Iv traveled a lot and lived in some big cities worked but there’s no place like London in the world 🌎
