Being of Atlanta and London, I could discuss trap and grime music all day!
A shame that the OP found London underwhelming. I'm well travelled and I continue to find it dynamic, exhilarating and stimulating. Each person is different though, which of course is a good thing.
London is underwhelming, especially when you consider its size, diversity and wealth..... it could be better
You keep saying this but fail to tell us WHY its underwhelming? I don't think you can, London has just about anything its possible to have in a city, I fail to see how it can 'underwhelm' exactly?

Because she only spend five days in London for work, went to some snobby cocktail bar with her colleagues and visited Brixton for a few hours she deems herself an expert. It's fine if people find London isn't for them but her constant bashing based on such a limited experience is nothing more than trolling or maybe she has some mental issues? How she's able to keep creating accounts is baffling but no matter how many times she attempts to disguise herself on here with a variety of names, she can't disguise the BS she constantly posts. I notice she is now "not a member"!

Reason: Noticed she's been banned again!
There is more racial diversity in the London tube then NYC subway.....and museums are generally free!
Other than that....meh!
I prefer Paris and Vienna than either of those two hell holes (never had good experiences in NYC or London despite speaking the language).
Why 'hell holes' exactly? That might be a term I would use for cities in Syria (perhaps) but I am struggling to think what could be so 'hellish' about New York or London? What did Vienna offer that New York didn't?

I've never been but I imagine that Vienna is a wonderful city, I would like to know why it was preferred over New York though? It must 'have' something New York lacks?

80's band Ultravox wrote a song about Vienna but never wrote one about New York, so perhaps that's what's lacking.
You know I find it odd that native NYC residents always talk about how the city is the greatest in the world and "if you can make it here then you can make it anywhere", yet they always compare NYC to other cities (which is a big sign of insecurities about the place you live in, kind of like how an insecure girlfriend will question her boyfriend "are you cheating on me?") and whine like a bunch of babies when they move to other cities because they aren't as "interesting". That toughened persona seems to fade away when they leave their nest, huh.
Anyway London may be underwhelming, but I find NYC to be overwhelming. Which isn't any better than a place being underwhelming.
