London

Mostly I think I hate it, I really really hate it but can't imagine living in any other British city. I came down South to be a student and now I feel like I'm a prisoner serving life with no chance of parole.

....melancholy and sense of failure and decay....

Will... man, sounds like you need to get out of London for a while.. and maybe England. It's all out there in other countries to be enjoyed - what's the point of hating your surroundings?

This thread yielded some positives about London that other people feel..

edit: there's a right bunch of crap in there too unfortunately, but some people are sincere...
