One to disappoint the anti Ealing/London moaners on here

London ranked second best city in the world by the Oxford Economics Global Cities Index "London may fit the definition of a “Global City” more than anywhere else in the world. The city has established itself as a perpetually relevant locale for business, science and technology, education, and the arts. This global economic powerhouse scores eighth in our Economics category, thanks to the size of the city’s economy (the fourth-largest in the world). But London really stands out as the world’s leading city for Human Capital, due to its numerous world leading universities, diverse labour force, and large pool of international headquarters."https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/global-cities-index/?#top-cities

Obviously there’s no problem with traffic in London then, as it’s clearly wonderful. Perhaps the Hanwell homunculus should stop moaning about ‘too many cars’ then!

That's more like it, London has its faults but any sane person would place it above ghettoised Paris any day and in a totally different league to New York.

Paris is just plain horrible these days. You exit the Eurostar and wonder which 3rd world country you’ve landed in!

Bless you and your tiny mind that rolls Ealing into a global satisfaction survey. Any survey that rates New York has top of the pile has to be ridiculed, I take it that you haven't visited that cesspit recently.  Equally, Paris has been largely ruined by the obsessions of Mayor Hidalgo, particularly her 15 minute neighborhoods which have created virtual ghettos. You really do need to take more than the single data source Paul, never mind at least you tried , I can stop laughing now.
