London 'dirtiest and most expensive city'
worst cuisine.....no surprise there then
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/tr...sive-city.html London 'dirtiest and most expensive city' London is Europe's dirtiest and most expensive city and also has the worst cuisine, according to a poll of travellers. Last Updated: 11:27AM BST 04 May 2009 London 'dirtiest and most expensive city' Workmen takes steps to clean the iconic clock face of St Stephens Tower, which houses Big Ben Photo: (PA: Lewis Whyld) The UK capital was also considered to have the worst-dressed locals in a survey of 2,376 European travellers by the TripAdvisor company. In addition, London was reckoned to have the most tourist traps, but also the best free attractions, easily the best public parks and the best nightlife. It was the second-year running that London had been voted the dirtiest European city. The UK capital took the unwanted accolade by a huge margin, with 36% reckoning London was the dirtiest - well ahead of Paris in second place with 9%. As many as 50% of those polled rated London best for public parks, with Paris a distant second with just 7%. One traveller writing a review on the TripAdvisor site said: "I have travelled quite a lot and there are NO parks in the world like the ones in London, especially St James's Park." The cleanest city was considered to be Copenhagen, while the best bargain city was Prague, the friendliest was Dublin and the most boring was Brussels. Paris had the best-dressed locals and the best cuisine, but was easily the least-friendliest city and also the most over-rated. Paris lost out to Venice as the most romantic city while Warsaw had the ugliest architecture. The Polish city of Krakow was considered to be the most under-rated, followed by Bruges and Edinburgh. TripAdvisor spokesman Luke Fredberg said: "Europe's capital cities all have their highs and lows, but no other continent offers travellers such a wealth of culture and sights within such short distances. "Despite London emerging as the dirtiest and most expensive city, its fantastic free attractions prove that you don't need to be a millionaire in order to enjoy the capital." |
