I can't tell you how awful London was the last time I was there (four
years ago).
All that pricey stuff goes on in the private sphere. In the public sphere and social spaces, everything is run down, shabby, unkempt, depressing. London used to be my favorite city in the world; but unless I decide to do a tour of the british isles, I suspect I will never see it again.
