New York, Miami, Hong Kong Prague and Tokyo are equal first.

London isn't actually much more expensive than New York, while 'the centre of the world' is something not coined by Londoners, but has been noted by academics (aviation, tourism, finance, etc...).

The reason we don't speak many languages is because we don't need to: english is practically the global language and the language of money. That might sound unfortunate, but it is claimed sometimes that more languages are spoken in London than in any other city in the world (300+), I myself though have moderate understanding of french and german and have some understanding of other languages.

And where on earth does the term "toilet of europe" come from! I assume that's why its one of the fastest growing cities in the developed world and is absorbing more immigrants than either New York or Los Angeles?
