British stag party carnage exposed - Telegraph
yea i actually was ok when 1 fight occurred but every night a group of them would start fights or end up in a fight by acting like animals. To make it worse most of their fights against their own British people. These people fight so much you would actually think their the locals.

LONDON WINS 110%

Most visited city (foreign visitors) in the world enough said!
We owned NYC in the bid to host world cup 2012
London has more oversee banks than any other city in the world with 480
46 other places in 6 continents named after London
London is bigger in size and doesn’t look like a rash (skyscrapers) we actually get sunlight on our streets
What NYC copied us in
NYC copied Piccadilly circus with their Time Square
NYC copied Hyde park with their Central Park
NYC copied London Underground with their subway
NYC copied London black cabs with their yellow taxis
NYC copied London- Worlds oldest scientific zoo by having their own Zoos
NYC is named after a crap city in Northern England, ‘’York’’ it doesn’t deserve the name New London City
New Yorkers trade and mostly speak in our language ‘’English’’ their schools do not compare to ours
NYC punks copied London Punks

History
London is 1,967 years old its steeped in history yet so modern no need to get into that its too much!



Infrastructure
Millennium dome largest in the world
Millennium wheel largest in the world
O2 Arena (Inside Millennium Dome) Largest arena in the world and the best
Wembley Stadium best and most expensive in the world

Transport
Heathrow airport- Busiest airport in the world
London airspace is the busiest of any city

Rail transport in London completely owns NYC by far
Rail transport in London includes various lines on these systems;
London Underground-
Oldest rapid rapid transit in the world and second most extensive after Shanghai metro. NYC copied but failed with their rats and wooden stations lacking art or proper architecture. But I give it to them for being 24 hours unlucky for London they system is so old it has the be maintained daily.

Eurostar (High speed 1 300 km/h 186 mp/h) - London to Paris in 2 hours and 35 minutes. There is no such thing as high speed rail anywhere in the USA period.

Other railways in London include;
London Overground
Docklands Light Railway
National Rail
London tramlink
Future Crossrail

Culture
Punk movement started in London.
Notting Hill carnival second largest carnival in the world after Rio
Over 300 languages spoken and thousands of ethnic groups
Over 50 foreign communities with over 10,000 people in each.
57% Christian, 26% Atheist, 9% Muslim, 4% Hindu, 2% Jewish, 2% Sikh
There are over three accents indigenous to London

Sport
London is the first city ever to host the summer Olympics three times.
Wimbledon tennis championships are the oldest most recognized in the world
London marathon biggest running event in the world
The most popular sport worldwide (football/soocer) has its best leauge in England and Londons holds 5 teams in this league and also the best stadium in the world Wembley stadium.

Safety
Murder rate is lower in London than NYC
London is the CCTV capital of the world due to the provisional Irish Republic Armies terrorist campaign on the city for the last few decades in the 20th century.

Londoners are natural survivors
While NYC suffered 9/11 many Londoners alive today including my nan survived the blitz, baby blitz and V weapon offensives by the Nazi Germans during the battle of Britain while the Americans were enjoying peacetime. Hundreds of nights of ariel bombing where 40,000 people were killed and 1.5 million homes destroyed or 1/3 of Londons homes. It took us up to the 1980s to fix the city we still have a housing shortage but this is still a world-class city.

History- London wins (1,967 years old)
Transport- London wins
Safety- London wins
Architecture- London wins
Wealth- London wins
Most visited- London wins
Size- London wins
Education- London wins
Culture- London wins

Racial diversity- NYC wins
Economy- NYC wins
Crime- NYC wins
Filth- NYC wins

Demographics London is pretty diverse

57% White Indigenous British

43% Ethnic minorities into racial groups include;
13% South Asian
11% White Other
11% Black
4% Mixed Race
2% East Asian
2% Other

LONDON WINS
