The tale of two cities

The city of the clock of Big Ben may be one of the beautiful cities in the world, but when it comes to the surveys among the European nations, London has become suddenly become infamous for its ‘dirtiest and most expensive city’ status. TripAdvisor company had surveyed 2376 European travelers that felt the city had also the worst cuisine. The deterring factors were also the worst-dressed locals and most tourist traps, which have seen the London being rated the dirtiest European city for the second year in tandem. 36% of tourists voted London to be the dirtiest followed by Paris in second place with 9% voting for the French capital.

However not all is worse for London. The surveyed felt that London has the best free attractions, the best public parks and the best nightlife – the upbeat factors that any tourist wants in common. With tourism touted to be one of the sources of revenues in a recession era, the city authorities may want to address these deterring factors to build the city’s image.
