I just spent 3 days in Soho, London.
The city is hugely overwhelming for a short term visit.
The talent is more cosmopolitan than Manchester. A lot less slutty.
I enjoyed my 3 days in Manchester more, as it was easier to wrap my head around. Nightlife was centered around a few small areas in that city. London requires more insider knowledge to find the good spots. Especially for off-nights. I asked around. Got lots of different answers. Was not able to discover any good nightlife Mon-Wed. I'm sure it exists somewhere, as the city is huge.
The restaurants taste better than Manchester. More expensive.
It rained every day for most of my stay. There are lines out to the street at many Underground stations around rush hour.
Central London is not very livable. Rental prices astronomical. On par with the trendy areas of Manhattan. Maybe more. Lots of tourist traps. Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and many more tourist attractions cost upwards of $30 USD to go inside. The museums are free with a suggested 5 pound donation. The British Museum houses the Rosetta Stone, among many other interesting antiquities.
I got more online dating bites in 3 days here than any other city. Must have got a dozen messages. All inbound. Still not sure why. I met up with 1 online girl outside the city center in the semi-suburbs. Unfortunately in person she was a wilde-beast. Wasn't in town long enough to capitalize on the others, but they're still messaging me. Online dating in London is being slept on (okcupid).
The local HB's I chatted up in the city during the day were ok. Finding them amid the tourists is a challenge. Good style & makeup. Not so feminine beyond that. No one asked "where are you from?". Compared to Manchester, where lots of people asked where I was from based on my American accent. Americans in London are much more common, and less interesting to the girls.
Compared to NYC; In London the weather is shittier. The people are nicer. The Underground is better than the Subway.
Compared to Manchester; Manchester is better for traditional gaming. Girls are impressed easier there. Being American got me laid with minimal effort. London city girls require more impressive game & story. London is better for Online. I believe you can do serious damage online in London with more time spent.
Overall thought on London; Too diverse to sum up. Take the good with the bad. Pray for decent weather.
