I know several people that have travelled the way back, they found the wonders of Aussie life were not for them.

Do the Aussies have things like the PROMS, the BFI London Film Festival, the Premier League (in London there are 5 teams, being the league the best in Europe, perhaps the world), the O2, theatre in the West End (perhaps the best theatre in the English Speaking world) and lets not forget, Paris 2 hours and a bit away by train :-) , etc, etc, etc. ?

Sorry, but frankly it just does not compare.

Of course Aussies have clean air and a healthier less stressed lifestyle, I am sure there are enough things to see and do, but London is simply overwhelming when it comes to choice.

The only point I am trying to make is that if culture and entertainment is important to you, you simply can't beat London (Am I passionate about this old town? Maybe )
