As Kipling said 'what do those of England know who only England know'.

As someone who has spent far too much time working abroad I realise now that, without doubt, the best city in Europe is London!

In 2 words it's just the 'cultural diversity' of London that makes it so good. And the beer.

I'll be buying a ss with a flip flop rear wheel so have ambitions to eventually ride fixie style

I was really thinking of outdoor stairs… Best I can come up with in London are the bridges – Chiswick, Waterloo Westminster etc all have very easy steps to ride down. Trouble is they're not that long.

Covent Garden tube stairs might be a challenge too far.
