>London is a magical place at times
I agree. Overall I like London.
>For an average white English person [living in London] absolutely doesn't outweigh the negatives
I disagree. I'm white and I lived in London, and I liked it a lot. Sure there are downsides - it's expensive, the air is polluted, and there is crime (thankfully I was not a victim of crime myself). But I think the positives are worth it. Like you say, salaries in London are higher. The range of jobs is far greater. And there are lots of other young adults living in London who you can socialise with. Here's a quote from pic related:
>When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
