I visited the big smoke last week for three days. I came down from the north east, i live in a relatively rural area now and i see maybe 3 cycle commuters a month and genuinely feel unsafe on my bike when riding to work due to the high speed roads involved and lack of infrastructure. I also ride my singlespeed but live in a valley so i have a lot of hills.
Consequently for three days i was wandering about london like a kid.. so many cool bikes (thats a ss, thats a fixie... bloody hell a brompton, i love those. jesus its so flat :) ) and you have segregated cycle lanes, bike racks. Its heaven, you lucky buggers. Mind you the rents a bit high when you look in estate agents. All in all i'd quite like to live in london.
