New York/London Neighborhood Comparison (Camden, Greenwich: houses, neighborhoods, theater)

[pooches9]

Could anyone familiar with both cities provide a comparison between New York and London neighborhoods? Something based on the feel of the neighborhood, proximity to nightlife, quality/type of restaurants, demographics, etc. Thank you very much!

This is a rough comparison...

New York..........................London
Upper East Side.................Kensington/Knightsbridge/Belgrave Square (extremely wealthy, near parks)
Upper West Side................West End/Marylebone (fairly wealthy near theaters, museums, parks)
Midtown...........................The "City" (touristy, businessmen)
Times Square....................Piccadilly Circus (very similar)
FiDi.................................Canary Wharf (banking industry)
Greenwich Village...............Holborn/Bloomsbury (very left leaning, university centered)
West Village......................Chelsea (newer money, celebrity packed)
Chelsea/MePa....................Soho/Leicester Square (traditionally gay neighborhood, lots of nightclubs)
East Village/LES.................Camden Town (fading hipster presence, lots of music venues, dives)
SoHo/TriBeCa....................Covent Garden/The Strand (cast iron district, fancy restaurants)
Hell's Kitchen.....................Kings Cross/St. Pancras (formerly rundown, recently gentrified)
Chinatown.........................Chinatown (enough said)
Williamsburg.......................East London-Whitechapel, Bethnal Green, Shoreditch (new hipstery area)
NW Brownstone Bklyn..........Notting Hill/Holland Park/Bayswater (beautiful rowhouses, markets, quieter)
Bed-Stuy/Bushwick.............Brixton (vibrant, traditionally lower income, immigrant areas)

I definitely agree with Times Square = Piccadilly Circus.
