Vienna. Or Berlin, if it wasn't such a mess.

Bruxelles is also a rather good choice...

The UK is probably the most anti-European country within the EU with many people not identifying with it or Europe as such, which is why London shouldn't even be on the list.

Brussels, because location is everything. Also, it already serves as the de facto capital for the EU.

I think the capital of one of the bigger member states wouldn't be a good pick. That would result in a never ending fight between Germany, France, the UK and Italy.

I'd go for Brussels or Luxembourg.
Also worth a consideration: The Hague/Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm or Vienna
