London is in the UK, drives on the left, not that impressive skyline, less visitors, less famous, horrible climate, annoying accent.
But you missed finance, history, infrastructure, location, diversity, some people LIKE the climate, the New York accents annoying, that tall buildings don't make a skyline.

New York has all that. And there is an educated NY accent as much as the stereotypical accent, much like there is an educated British accent and one that is not so posh.
Tall buildings may not make a skyline.. but it sure doesn't hurt it either.
They came close you gotta give em credit for that.
They sure did. Too bad it's all gone except for Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, Pitcairn, Falklands, BVI, (cant remember the rest of the tiny outposts of her majesty). I'm glad the yanks came to their aid against the nazis, otherwise they'd be speaking Deutsche and eating currywurst in London (thank god).
Why aren't cities like Tokyo, Shanghai, etc. on the list?
wOw. I'm the only one who voted for Los Angeles. Hmmm. Let me think up a quick rationale.
1) Hollywood movies go to all countries=most culturally invasive city
2) Insignificant in world history=no long-simmering war memories
3) Over 224 languages spoken in L.A.=everyone probably has a relative here
4) No important religious monuments or sacred sites=religiously neutral turf
5) Zero skyline, bland architecture, no particular "identity"=blank slate

I'd appreciate if you didn't use the deadliest war in history as one-upmanship, I have relations who were killed in the world wars
