Just use the Night buses. They run around the clock and can generally get you where you need to be in under an hour or so.

I know, I was addressing his point.

Perhaps we simply have different tastes? My relatives (mostly from Malaysia) all agree. London Chinese food is 'lousy'.

Possibly, but then if you are Malay, then it is likely that Cantonese food (which is what London does well) is not going to be to your liking. I'm no big fan of Malaysian food, I ate Indian (and Nandos) when I was in KL...

True, chances are his family just have a palette that does not favour Chinese. I love Asian food, Thai, Malaysian, Nepalese etc, but don't like Chinese myself outside of Dim Sum and the odd dish.

There's some excellent Malaysian restaurant's in London mind. My personal picks

Paddington: Satay House (fairly affordable but delicious, full of actual Malaysian customers, which is always a good sign).

Edgware Road: Melur (cheap but good, lots of Malaysians eat here too)

I'll have to check both of those out!

Also, I know this is off topic, but please all Londoners reading this thread, go and vote. I don't care who you vote for, but please exercise your right to vote. There are people in the Middle East dying at the moment to win this right, we have it and should always use it. Even if you go in and write "you're all a bunch of bastards" across the ballot paper, that's fine. Just get your voice heard!

I concur. I got up early to vote this morning as I'm out tonight. Managed to spoil my papers by accident for the first time ever and had to wait around for ten minutes while they issued me new ones.

As a student in London it sucks with everything being so expensive compared everywhere else (apart from Dublin). The spark has undoubtedly gone since moving here but the south east of London where I am currently is worlds apart from the city center.

Occasionally if I'm showing friends around or going clubbing in town I have a great time but I wish I could view London from a tourists point of view rather than a grim commuter.

Damn right. I vote for anything I am asked to politically (so council and general usually), if you don't vote you have no right to complain.

London chinese food is bad? Anyone here been to Royal China? great food!
Also anyone remember the Oriental City in North West london. It was in Collindale/Edgeware to be exact. So sad it closed down.

Is Boston Massachussets boring? I ask because this is where america was born.

Makes me wish that I bought that house in Mayfair a few years ago.

So how much of the London 2012 Olympics fund went into buying 1st place in the TripAdvisor poll?

Reppin' London and Istanbul

[M_Night]

Personally found London to be a shit hole, although I haven't seen many parts of it.

[Frester]

When I flew from Heathrow to Newark I went from sunny but chilly to about 10 inches of snow and slush. Does the weather in NYC suck? Trip advisor, when you make your trip the weather might be fine. ITT: people who don't travel post cliches.

ITT: anecdotal evidence and assuming other people haven't traveled.

Any opinions on Stockholm? Might be going there in June.

Royal China is one of the best, and yes,so gutted Oriental City closed! Mini Chinese, Japanese, Asian indoor food courts of street food all packed in to one giant mall. Used to love going there and just picking bits and bobs off all the different stalls.

wonderfull city, with the hottest woman on the planet.

I found Madrid takes that crown, but Stockholm is up there (though I haven't been there in 4 years so it may have upped its game).
