London is arguably now the most exciting city in the world. Well, it depends of course what you are coming for - but for variety of art, restaurants, theatre, museums, green space and sheer energy - when taken together - it beats New York and Paris hands down. Paris is a more beautiful city, and New York more exciting architecturally - but London has a charm that is hard to resist.
