London is a remarkable city , I spend most of my time not working in the west end and have done so for the past 35 years. I never tire of it even though it is changing and not for the better......still great.
I'm very excited to hear that, as I adore big cities. Quick question: I remember reading Lennon's biography, when he left London and moved with Yoko to New York in the early 1970s. The reporter asked him why the move, and John replied how he thinks London is like a lame sleepy village compared to the grandness of New York (or some words to that effect).

Now, I find that puzzling, because to me New York is a pretty drab, unexciting (even a bit boring) place. So why would Lennon claim that it's much grander than London? Seems odd...
