London hostel: a surreal drug-infested filthhouse surrounded by a conglomerative mess of Japanese students, black British coke-addicts, and the like. The bathrooms are nice in a comparative sense - comparative meaning to a cockaroach nesting pad.

London fast-food: 5 pounds for a Burger King meal - but hey, you can smoke inside.

London driving: Look right before crossing the street.

London in general: New York done right. The cleaner version, ala Boston.
