[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]London.

Expensive and creepy. There were parts in London where I saw no sign English. Only Arabic. Women going around covered head to toes in black fabric (niqab). People were hostile (we were dressed Western-style).  It was super expensive and the weather was depressing.  Never again. [/quote]

Agree completely.  We used to love going to London.  Not anymore.[/quote]

I'm open minded and progressive and love to travel. I've been going to London regularly since the early 1980s and even lived there for a few years. London has changed so much especially in the last 10 years and not always for the better. It's just not English any more and that's the sad part. The current diversity has advantages and can be enjoyable and dining is much better, thankfully, but it's lost a lot of what made it unique and it's just another big international city. And it's so very odd to see heavily conservative Muslims wandering around London. And the flip side is that large parts of central London is effectively a ghetto not for the rich, but the very, very superrich. It used to be my favorite city but now I have little interest in seeing London beyond revisiting old friends and catching a show or exhibition. [/quote]

THIS, completely.  It's not the same city anymore, which is very sad.[/quote]
