I lived in London for ten years. There is a buzz, there is always something going on. Then I moved away. Then I came back to work in the west end and the city.
It was when I came back I noticed how tired, sick and depressed everyone looked. How long it takes to get anywhere. How crowded the streets are. And seriously, the dust and the smells are horrible.
If you're still in a phase of life where you enjoy it then best of luck to you. I really loved the place for a long time. Now... give me practically anywhere else. I like clean air and space.
