Last time i was down in london i got ridiculously lost, so i have no concrete advice. Damn my lack of direction. That massive HMV i found was good though. I spent a couple of hours in there. |

i want to check out the huge HMV, just to say i did. |

It's almost scary it's that huge. I was wandering around trying to find tower records when i wandered into the behemoth. 3 floors and they're all crammed full of goodies. I'm almost glad i was broke when i found it... i could have spent thousands in there. |

I hated London when I went there. Overcrowded, overpriced, overripe (it stinks). Overall, overrated. |

Agreed. London smells like mutant sweat and has too many people in it. I'm not a huge london fan. |

London has many pleasures but many faults. I think if you find the good bits, yer pretty much set. I'm going to be spending a lot of time in manchester come september, as most of my friends are moving there for uni. |

Go to the scruffiest looking pub you can find for a pint that won't bladder you instantly |

Heh, my nan lives in moss-side in the roughest bit of The Mank, so i think i'll be able to handle everything the city has to throw at me :D Seriously though, i like manchester a lot better than london. Friendlier people, cheaper shops, less violent atmosphere... y'all should stay up northz. |

I like London for a bit, but after about 24 hours it really gets me down. The smell, the filth, the people, walls everywhere going way too high, all these street names that are supposed to mean something to me but don't... there's something inherently wrong about the whole place. |

Aye, one of my friends has relatives in darlington and he likes it well enough when he goes to stay. Well enough not to stay there more than a couple of weeks mind. I kinda have mixed feelings on big cities... manchester and liverpool seem quite friendly and relaxed, but i dunno if i could live there, just too many people. I've got used to rubbish smalltown life, sad as that fact is. |

The manchester i have inhabited when walking around oldham street on saturday afternoons and the manchester clubs i have wandered into late at night intoxicated on that night's choice of chemical. Mind you, the manchester i've stayed in FOLLOWING these experiences has been more intimidating and violent than friendly. As a side note: two people were murdered in the flat next to my nan's, both shot in the head. That isn't precisely friendly. |

"intoxicated on that night's choice of chemical" that might be a key phrase in your appraisal of Manchester.. |

enough of the london-bashing, kids! whilst it is scarily polluted and not the most friendly of places after dark, it's a small price to pay to live in such an ace city. london has all the gigs, raves, theatre, galleries and other awesome random fun things to do. it's steeped in history with amazing architecture hidden in the most unlikely of places. right now, i honestly couldn't imagine living anywhere else! (when i'm rich (hah!) i do, however, plan to have a dingy london 'pad' and a really remote village cottage where no one can find me. ever. but that's another story altogether :p) i can see why you non-city folk might find it a little off-putting tho'. many of my non-london friends have found it intimidating initially, but that's understandable if you’re not used to it. i'm sure you'll have a great time, anus! when i'm feeling more energetic (and sober ;) ) i'll make you a nice little list of super-cool things to do. SHABBA! |

So, is England full of crime now? Or are these chavs beating people up at night? What is all this saftey talk? Who would you avoid? What are your prejudices for survival? |
