Considering NS is a UK website, It'd be safe to say London is going to come out on top.

Same thing would happen to NY if NS was a US based site, but, whaddya gonna do?

I'd say NewYork because the streets are mostly straight lines large enough for cars and pedestrians, not much small award and curvy streets with bad pavement and pointless turns. The neighbornhoods (sp?) are mostly modern and adapted to present time since they were built this way; London is some piece of misfitting extents that stucked together without consideration for the people that will later live in this city (yeah, I know some things can't be planned, but such a city design makes life complicated...)
I traveled the Europe this summer and most of my time I was thinking: "How could they live like that?! How could they drive cars so gay? What's with the public transportation, it sucks! Why are the building so low, no skyscaper in cities makes them look like screwed up small redneck towns!"

Also New York doesn't have a queen >:0 (they have jesus freak though and sect-ish churches <_<)

And NY policemen are epic (sorry British friends, but your policemen with theid odd black and yellow patern all over their car and hat don't look manly to me... plus they don't have guns <_< And they are evil... And nobody respects them, wich speak of a social problem quite deep (not as bad as in France but still))

hell, the city itself is epic: I know London is way older and knew more wars than the americas will ever know, but we get more memorable popular culture figures and fictions going on in New York than in London. That means when you walk around, any dumbass can relate to a book or a movie or a TV show; it's like Disney world for pop culture fan

Even John Lennon understood that and went dying in New York d'uh (ok, bad point :lol2: )

London but only because I lived there for 3 years and I enjoyed my time there. I still only live 40 minute away from Central London if travelling by train.
YES. I have returned.

Knock you over is more like it. And you can suck on this (gesticulates towards crotch), if you don't like it esse!*

Manhattan (esp China town) is really the only place I've encountered that.
, wicked expensive...

London is worse when it comes to that.
just not my style of city.

I think I can agree with that. I need a yard for one, and I'm not nearly rich enough to afford it in NYC, I doubt London is any better though.
