My best may not be same as your best. London should be the best if you want local food and shops.

I believe any of the Scandinavian capitals would be nice to live and work in Europe. I personally prefer Oslo.

Next to perfect transport system???????? hellooooooooooo... last time I was in London in July, it twice happened that the train stopped midway on its journey at a station, the driver packed up and went home and there was an announcement "This train has been terminated here, kindly disembark from the train". Try doing that in Mumbai... wihout getting the train burnt by the enraged crowd.

Faults happen occassionaly, but the driver was there to apologise to the passengers and announce to everyone to get down and the next train would be just a few meters away or, they would definitely organise a bus atleast for the transport. They won't just let u go and leave nowhere! If that happened u r eligible to have a compensation very soon!
But in India, the driver just tells the next carriage and jumps out of window and disappears, and the next thing is the rumours and the message is passed by fellow passengers in proportions! And where is the alternative solution? When is the next train?
heaven knows! And if u go to the station master, either he is not there, or no proper response!
So, the crowd sets the train on fire, which was left by british anyway!
I'm not praising British, but blaming ur ignorance that by looting every politician, we can build a much nicer city and transport than London!
believe me, anywhere outside London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield, its all crap...

a recent worldwide survey has put london transport the best in world. and london has also been rated the tourist spot by WAYN.com (the international tourist site). I do agree that the transport system in not perfect, but it helps to be on the top of the list.
