http://... 2008 New Year FireworksNew Year Live, 31 Dec 2007, 11:15pm, BBC One.The fireworks display celebrating 2008, from the heart of London in the magnificent setting of Big Ben, the London Eye, Somerset House and Embankment.
I was there in 2006 actually. I stayed at Marble Arch. The numbers don't lie.I will not argue "London vs. New York" with you, as I've already made my points clear, as well as the financial distater going on makes the discussion pointless.
However, just to give you an idea of who INVESTORS think is more financially sound (New York or London) The pound has dropped TWENTY-FOUR PERCENT against the US Dollar.
24%
Thank You.

If you think only 21.% of londons pop was born outside of london then you obviously haven't been there in the last 10 yrs.New York has lost it's place as world financial capital due to the US's rampant Xenophobia and geological isolation from the worlds most important markets.

Congratulations, you are 100% wrong on every point you just made. Let's comapre it to New York.1. London is NOT the most visited city in the world. Paris is. New York is 3rd. London is 6th. Got this from a 2006 study.
2. Is it NOT the most ethnically diverse. 36% of NY's pop is foreign born. 21.8% born outside of London.
3. The report released said it would become the leader of finance in"10 YEARS" if NY didn't change it's regulations. It hasn't been 10 years.

london is the most visited city in the world (partly due to Heathrow) and the most ethnically diverse (not that i consider that a good thing) and the centre of world finance.
