London , General info:
10/10

London is a beautiful city. It's not exactly Las Vegas, but at night there is still a good amount of light. If you want to see the whole of London, but don't have enough time or you're too tired, just visit the London Eye. But if you're scared of heights, there's isn't any other way to see London (except for on a plane). If you look for reviews on London, most say that is a city they would gladly visit again. One yahoo contributor said: "I was lucky enough to live in London for a few months. I loved it and would return back there if the right opportunity came around. No place in the world has such a mixture of cultures, history and energy that London does. I love the cafes, the museums, the double-decker buses, the tube, the cathedrals, the pubs, and so much more. The only downside is the bad weather, but that's not a big enough negative for me to take off a star."

London , Safety:
10/10

As long as you stay in central London, in places that are crowded or with a lot of people, you will be safe. But pubs and poor empty places are very dangerous. And NEVER go to the park at night if it's empty. It is one of the most popular places for stabbings.
