So my trip to London was pretty great. Really cool city. Only downside was there are so, so many people. There are streets 30meters wide, and yet still they are rammed should to shoulder with people. Apart from that it was epic.
I saw two Aston Martin DB9s, a Ferrari 360, two Ferrari FF's, two Lambo Gallardos, an Audi R8, about 100 Merc S classes, three Bentley Contintentals, an a RR Phantom. The amount of S Class mercedes was absolutely insane. It's easily the most common car in the wealthy parts of London. I'd say Mercedes S Class's outnumbered brands like Ford 5:1.
Looking around Harrods was an experience. The technology floor is just incredible.

And then on the other floors there was the usual £70k sofas, £50k Holland & Holland shotguns, live performing opera singers alongside the escalators etc
Other than Harrods we took a stroll around Hyde Park which is nice. M&M World (awesome), Covent Garden Apple Store - which is positively huge and ridiculously well designed, **** knows what the cost of that thing was/is.
Then we went to Chinatown. 50+ Chinese restaurants to choose from. Yum. We found one with an all you can eat buffet for £10 which is pretty cheap. Very tasty food too. But they didn't have any knife and forks so I had to learn how to use chopsticks, got the hang of it pretty quick which was good as I was starving.
So overall, yeah, cool place. So many nice places, bars and restaurants I can imagine it's a great place to live if you are earning £100k+ a year.
Also on the way there we drove to cockfosters tube station and then got to tube into the center of London. I learned I would like to live on that road. The average house on that road is like this. I figure the fact that it is outside of the mahem of London center and yet you can walk 1 minute to the tube station which will get you into the center of London in about 25 minutes is why it's such a prime location, and therefor nice and expensive.
