According to Travel and Leisure magazine, the best city in the world right now you could visit is San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, followed by Charleston in the USA, followed by Chiang Mai in Thailand. These three places, however, don’t even get on the top 20 places to actually live, in this year’s Quality of Living Index, a yearly list compiled by HR firm, Mercer. Apparently, if you want to live the good life, you should move to Vienna, Austria, Zurich, Switzerland, or Auckland, New Zealand. The top twenty list doesn’t include any cities from the UK or the USA, two countries that have arguably been the two heavyweights in the last century regarding power and wealth. These two countries, however, contain cities that attract millions of overseas visitors every year. Today we are going to compare them, in this episode of the Infographics Show, New York City vs London.

I’ve lived in London for around 10 years now, housing is very very expensive. However, London is beautiful.
Wow beautiful
I live in the U.S.
@@jamhuman2499 the is a problem in all country ,i live in Sheffield and i same thing here..sad
Sanity So is NYC!
London and NYC are very expensive. Back in the 80s, early 90s, NYC was cheap, but not anymore.
Haha I live in London, was walking through a council estate near brixton and some kid came up behind me on a bike pulled a knife out, tried to intimidate me and asked for my phone, regardless he ended up walking off without any of my belongings but still. Great city apart from kids who think they're gangsters with knives and guns.
ATOM so did you kick his butt?
Or did you call 911?
Obviously I'm not being serious with this
The_anti-rabid-brony we call 999 instead of 911 tho
The_anti-rabid-brony I didn't beat his arse because he had a flick knife but I didn't give him shit he rode off if he didn't have a knife I could take him on
ATOM ikr
ATOM i believe you 😊
Spent a week and a half in New York, and five days in London last month. I prefer London. The NY subway has some catching up to do.
Theron Kolokwe I know. Rats are everywhere.
Yeah London Underground is way better
You should see some of the new stations, Fulton Center, there's many more stations than the underground, so were slowly renovating them although at a slow pace 😭but seriously, some of these new stations, make london underground need to catch up! Fare is MUCH cheaper, and free wifi, no matter carrier or plan you have! But ofc, overall london underground is MUCH cleaner.
@@FATHOLLYWOODB123 NY Subway has many more stations than London Underground, and that's why it's cheaper and slower, while London Underground doesn't have redundant stops and has ideal distance between stations and also covers the rest of the space with either London Overground, National Rail, London Tramlink or London Buses.
For example, in New York Subway, a normal metro journey between Broadway Junction and Spring Street would take 33 minutes (15 stops in between), and walking the way would take 123 minutes, which means metro is approximately 4x faster than walking. However, a similar distance in London, between Tooting Broadway and London Bridge would take 20 minutes (11 stops in between) instead, in an almost same time taken to walking (126 mins), meaning its over 6x faster.
London Underground is much cleaner, safer, and has better staff willing to help people getting around. However like everything in London, minus Friday & Saturday nights, the Underground starts closing super early, around 12am-12:30am it all starts closing down. Unlike NYC that the subway is 24/7. Also Undergound is way more expensive then the NYC subway.
I love living in London.
'lundon' not 'london' lol get your spelling right
joseph Michael I hope you were joking
Me too
Yhhhh i don't. I'm defo moving to somwhere like California when I'm done with my degree.

I'm a Londoner and honestly I love being in London. There are of course, problems including some crime/terror threats and others but it's a beautiful, multicultural city with so much history. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

I've been to both and as an biased tourist from Asia, I have to say I like London better because of its accessibility to many different kinds places. You can go from a suburban neighbourhood to a crowded city centre filled with life to a big open park and a historical landmark within an hour
Same with New York.
You can do the same in NY

I like nyc more it’s a melting pod of all of these cultures while London is more based off the past and is a bit old and needs reconstruction in my opinion.

I’m Irish but I agree

London feels like such a classy, amazing place, with basically everything you could ever want. (you can tell I'm biased and lived in London for half my life).

New York is way more fun there is way more to do and to go imo
Alligoter10 Bloop oh shutup, it doesn't nyc is boring and city that rains more and sleeps more
Whyyyy u lying I live in North London it ain't glamarous at all unless ur going to central or West London there isn't much in the inner and outer bits of London. London is too hyped in reality it's just another city
Stefan Kovacevic u know. It's a bunch of shitty cramp homes, loads of closed shops, also bare crime
London is for me the number one city to visit. Being from Copenhagen, London is only a 90 minutes flight away, and it’s airfare is cheap too. Staying there can be expensive, but if you like me don’t stay in your hotel that much and don’t require luxury, cheap decent centrally situated accommodation is available. From time to time I do stay at my uncle’s family (he’s from Tottenham) in Blackheath (approx 30 minutes from central London). I been to London 25+ times and I will keep on coming, as London has new things to experience!
To visit London, to live NYC
I love London but New York would be nicer to visit but the best city to visit is Tokyo
Wow you're easily pleased, London is a dump, try Manchester, cheaper, much more relaxed, much nicer people, better public transport, and cheaper in general, ive been to both i and im from neither, i can honestly say, how amazing Manchester after visiting both, Manchester completely destroys London
@@damon3142 did you just call London a dump compared to Manchester? In Manchester you can constantly hear spiced up lads screaming about the floor moving while trying to run off with your bike

I live in London and have visited America multiple times including spending a month in New York. New York definitely has that filmic charm, but London is far more varied, open and interesting with a richer history - which is why I prefer it. In fact, I prefer European cities to American cities generally, because they're just older and more interesting. Where America excels is its natural wonders, which are truly spectactular. The people of America are generally very hospitable and driving around the country is pure magic.
London without a doubt, greatest city in the world
Charlie Wright, Absolutely
I agree I live in London myself, in southern ontario tho xd, it's still a good city it's really beautiful we have a lot of war museums art mesuems and a lot of pretty nature parks, it's a great city and I love it a lot. not to mention the people and the hiking and boating on the senset in the middle of Lake Erie or Lake Huron, it's such a pretty place and the rain is really nice too.
Charlie Wright LONDON.
actually england is the greatest city.
frankthecoolestboyintheworld england is a country...London is a City
I'm from NY but I have lived in London for years now. Both cities are well connected and similar in terms of job opportunities/living standards, but they are very different in terms of culture/city layout. So any comparison would be mainly on a personal basis...(I love both cities but will probably return to NY eventually!) These comparisons done on numbers don't really mean much.
Ashc101 finally an American
is there a difference between the cities when it comes to interactions and making friends? that is a big factor for me
@@kirsten.k me too the guy in the video already said ny was easier
@@kirsten.k ehh mostly in London you would meet a lot of friends in Primary and Secondary schools, but in the public, I don't think so. I mean you would still get some friends if you have a job or something.
I'm from America but visited London while abroad, there are some neighborhoods that are really chill in London. Dare I say even quiet at times. I enjoyed my stay. And the transportation was so easy to figure out, never got lost. Hope to visit New York soon.
The tube hasn't the crime that isxin the ny subway and the trains are more comfortable my husband and daughters went to New York and all theyvliked was times square quite liked central Park but we have many more parks
I'm a,widow now but one day we walked through all the parks added together mich bigger than Central Park. Has new York got squares of greenery no they haven't
I'm always struck by how much good will there is between the two cities. Londoners tend to really like New York when we visit, and vice versa. Culture shock is minimal, and the (many) differences tend to thrill and delight rather than overwhelming or confusing. I think it must be harder for people from smaller, friendlier parts of the same country to adjust to the Big City than it is for someone from one Big City to adjust to the other.
They're both places I never tire of.

Because they were English? So they didn't really steal anything, they were just lazy lol.

@@amon4977 Says someone who's never been to London.
Where did you move from
@@amon4977 you're an idiot.
@@runningfromabear8354 It's true though. There's barely any white people in London.
London = hot summers (some years can be inconsistent). Very humid hot / occasionally very hot heatwaves / droughts fairly common for London. London still has higher humidity than New York, so the temperatures feel hotter in London. London can be beautifully sunny at times during any season, although also unpredictable on occasions. Spring & autumn / fall can be hot some years.
London has generally much warmer winters than New York. London has less than half the rainfall of New York in an average year. Snow is rare in London. New York is guaranteed heavy snowfall. It can even snow up to late spring in New York. Blizzards, freezing rain storms in New York's winters or early spring / late fall still likely.
Weather in a short period of time is not the same as longer term climate. London is expected to eventually have a similar climate as Barcelona. Overall, London still has an arguably better climate than New York & especially so going forward.

As a New Yorker living in London, I'd say that even after the novelty wears off, the politeness in England is rather nice. New Yorkers don't have time for that as we're more direct and in my opinion, honest. As someone who's used to being told to move when I'm stepping on someone's foot, it's a bit daunting to always pick up on the subtlety here as Brits are big on that. In both places I feel that I'm on my own in terms of outside interaction, but 9 times out of 10, starting a conversation with with a random stranger in either place has proved to be a positive experiences as people, when approached with genuine interest, are open to share at least a little about themselves. The food in London has been "meh" when compared to New York. Sure, there are some nice places here in London, but in my opinion, not as many nice, cheap ones as New York. If I could combine the two, I surely would. I'm in London, but my heart will always belong to the 93m green woman holding a torch. I miss my lady...

You said "the city of London" but started describing the history of London. London and the city of London are different (and have a complicated relationship)
Gideon Bellamy yes indeed
Very true, City of London is the heart of London. Whereas London is the whole city. There is also inner London, suburbs and outskirts. Inner London is a 5 mile radius from central London. Suburbs is 6-18 mile radius of central London. And the outskirts is everywhere else of London. London ends at Watford junction in the north and Morden in the south.
Abdullah Ali sorry but that's not true, you're just basing that off the tube map. Watford isn't in London, it's in Hertfordshire, and south London extends much further south than just Morden, in fact there's a whole another borough directly south of Morden called Sutton, then there's Croydon, Kingston etc. The city limits are defined by the 32 boroughs

London is weird. I live a 5 minute walk from 3 horse stables, several open fields, a protected bird sanctuary and a Tudor castle that housed Henry the VIII. I also only live 5 miles from Trafalgar Square and on an old walk to work I passed about 10 world famous landmarks and accidentally walked into the premier of The Dark Knight Returns in Leicester Square once. I happened to do this again for the Hateful Eight one. Central is super compact but Greater London, which is what they used in this, is more suburban.

@@azidhussain2686 New York isn't bigger than England 😂 I'd say for state comparison, Alabama is about the same size.
NYC has a much bigger metro area than London. Its a much bigger city overall population wise
Savage Saffron New York City Metro Area includes surrounding areas like New Jersey, etc. If we’re gonna do that you might as well say that London’s Metro Area includes Brighton, Dover, etc and it will still be much larger. New York Metro Area makes no sense and London Metro Area literally means it has London Underground and you can use the Oyster Card on transport and it’s bigger than New York Metro Area.
I, unlike some people who have commented here, have visited both and NYC is way better. Better landmarks, easier to get around, cheaper, more stuff to do, better shopping, better food etc.
I live in London and I can say it is a great city for culture but also the public transport system is very efficient, from central London you could probably to most other places in London within 1 hour
London simply has more tourist attractions than New York. New York has Empire State, Chrysler building, Statue of Liberty/ellis Island, Times Square and Central Park. London has 10 times as many, for example London Eye, Big Ben/houses of parliament, Westminster Abbey, tower bridge, Covent Gardens, Hampton Court, Buckingham palace, Nelson's Column, Hyde park. I have not even begun to talk about museums. As a tourist destination, London beats New York. (I speak as someone who has visited both as a tourist in the last month)
Joseph Stalin
xD
NYC has all the things you listed plus The high line, World Trade Center, Battery Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Bryant park, 5 th Avenue, St. Patrick Cathedral, Museum of natural history, The Met, Grand Central Station, Bronx zoo, Coney Island, Macy's, China town, Washington Square Park, Radio city, Broadway, Flat Iron building, Top of the Rock, Little Italy, Madison Square Garden, The UN headquarters and so much more
Nicktrains thompson Yeah.
Nicktrains thompson I personally don't care of The Landmarks as much as I care about The feeling I have inside The city. For example - I prefer Berlin over Amsterdam even tho Amsterdam is much more beautiful, I just felt much better in Berlin

Maybe European cities are more visited by international visitors because there are a lot of countries close by and if a European wanted to go to New York they have to buy plane tickets
Gabe London's Heathrow Airport is the third busiest in the world - people fly to London.
Gabe I think you have your facts wrong. England is an island and unless you take the train from France most people are going to fly.
Lots of people drive - I see lots of foreign number plates from Europe
Not to mention how many Americans from places like California (like myself) will travel to New York for a destination vacation however they won't count as international visitors
Also in Europe we have the Schengen and opens borders which means no visas if you already live in the Schengen. Very cheap to visit other countries
Do LA vs New York
What is this, 1980s stand up?
LA: perfect for mansions
NYC: perfect for Penthouses
I'm English I prefer LA
SF is more comparable to NYC than LA
loganatha K7 New York easily, no comparison there.
The thing you have to remember about London is it's hundreds of year older than American cities, it was designed when the only transport was a horse , so roads & buildings are all over the place, it slowly spread out from the centre but not in any set pattern like NYC for example, that's why it can be confusing to tourists..
NYC is no slouch regarding history and landmarks though, especially among non-Eurasian cities. It tends to be more hidden and you need to read some books to appreciate its history. I recommend the AIA Guide to New York City for a detailed guide for the various important buildings throughout the city, as well as some detailed descriptions that provide some historical context. To someone from say Las Vegas or Orlando, NYC feels "old world" in comparison. 2024 will mark four centuries since the first European settlers came to found a tiny village that was not even half the size of the old City of London.
@@pannoni8449 Four centuries is baby years however. There are plenty of older and more impressive buildings in the the city of London than basically the entire USA, seeing as the country in its modern form barely existed a few hundred years ago. New York is old times for people who live in places like LA sure… but that means literally nothing to anyone outside of the USA.
London is a blessing to Britian!!!💖💖💖💖 I love it it’s a shame we can’t go there in quarantine😭😭😭😭😭
I live in London and it seems pretty much spot on, though one thing I love about London is the history of events and landmarks here, it seems wherever I go I just stumble across some kind of National Monument or historically important place.
Londinium may have been founded by the Romans, but the City of London has existed for longer than writing itself and there were Roman records of the City of London, so the city is actually really old
London is getting better all the time. There is so much development going on there. New skyscrapers going up constantly, redevelopment of the kings Cross, Wembley, Nine Elms, Stratford, Elephant and Castle and Grenwich areas. Tottenham Hotspur have just had a state of the art stadium built, which will also host NFL (American Football). Crossrail, a major new underground line, is also almost complete and will make travelling around London even easier and less congested.
BORIS JEFFERSON Taking development into account, New York blows London out of the water, with 8 skyscrapers under construction that are super tall status. Also parts of queens and Brooklyn are being highly redeveloped.
❤❤❤glad to be British
Đ.G. BLACKS you need to get out more, I am going to New York again on 17th November this year, London is better
@@SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand London are not allowed huge skysrapers you see in NY due to airspace not because they don't want it
@@SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand the largest engineering project across the whole of Europe, is taking Place under London's streets as we speak, look it up on youtube, its called crossrail.
I love that some streets in London still look from the old days with old buildings all over the place apart from the modern buildings and car
I live a 5 minute walk from the nearest London borough and visit central London almost every weekend and love it. It doesn't matter if everything is spread out because there is something to do everywhere you go. The city truly doesn't ever sleep as the streets are just a little bit less busy at 3 in the morning as they are at 3 in the afternoon
The infographics show needs to learn how to spell. BILIONARS!? Really?
Adam Bukhari that’s not how I would spell it lol
Yeah
There’s plenty of all night night clubs in London!
@r sit's never on time, it's just really loud, it's complicated and is so bad!
New York, NY !! So nice they named it twice
London these days seems to me a lot more dangerous and less likeable place than London from 13 years ago when I first visited it. If I had to choose a city to live in I wouldn't choose any of those two. But between them I would definitely choose London.
London 13 years ago was a dump. from someone who lived in london back then and now lives just outside of london the city is much better than it was
That's bs. Growing up in the 00s was so bad. My house got robbed, seen kids pulling out knives, smashing car Windows, even heard gun shots twice. But they have done shit and the crime rate is wayyy lower than what it was in the 90s and 00s
@@Yas-ei3st heard gun shots twice damn I hear gun shots damn there once or twice a week
@@brandoningram9476 i dunno if u live in London or not but guns aren't common use of weapons its mainly knives. So hearing gunshots is kinda fucked. Im glad i dont live where u are like how u do it
@@Yas-ei3st I live in NYC Brooklyn and I can tell you from a person that lives there that the NYPD does not document every crime that happens or every homicide so it doesn't get put into the data base NYC ain't what it seems when you go to Brownsville Brooklyn flatbush east New York or the bronx and staten island this are all the places they don't advertise
Well I have lived in London for all of my life and I must say... every fact about London was spot on! Well done!
The outskirts of London is nothing like the centre lifestyle near the edge of London is great and not too crowded but isn’t too lonely
As a Londoner, I love how in London, as it is not on a grid, it is really fun to explore, though granted it makes it more difficult to get around for tourists, rather than New York
I've visited both cities and I think it depends on how much you like crowds. There are much bigger crowds in New York than in London. London also has more of its own history as It's the residence of the British royal family.
I've visited both for about a week each. Both cities were amazing, but I preferred London (Not so jam packed and the people were nicer).
Both are such iconic cities. I've been to London twice and have never been to New York though would kill to go.
Coming from the Philippines, now living in London and visited the NY. I must say I like the mix of peace and quiet and the fast paced life in London. Tube is better than the subway as well, with loads of national railway systems spread across London in top. Its easier to get around.
Kumusta
Lol... How's this for crazy.. I've lived 2 decades on both places, and now I think I've found the best place on earth.. The Philippines!
I'm planning to move there for the treasure that is the fillipine people... friendly, kind, welcoming, open hearted.
New York has very little of this. I truly love London, but both pale in comparison.
That’s literally the same in nyc
Nothing compares to New York. Different people. Different backgrounds. Different religions. Different languages. It’s amazing. The best places to eat are there too. You can taste food from 5 different countries in one street.
'nothing compares to new york' - you clearly haven't travelled then.
London has exactly this too. Different people. Different backgrounds. Different religions. Different languages. It’s amazing. The best places to eat are there too. You can taste food from 5 different countries in one street.
@@Nihilanth1982 exactly!
@@Nihilanth1982New York is a lot more developed and richer than london
@@netswrld I wouldn't say alot, its very similar in terms of development. And well, London is pretty much the financial capital of europe, so not too much less rich. Overall, its quite close
@@aslightidiot nah NY is worth twice as much as london
England is the best city
Both of the cities are dream city for every one who haven't visited any of the cities so both are centers of the world
Yes, I do love being a Brit who lives in London :), proud too :D, and I highly recommend visiting us!
Wow. I've learned more in this video than in my entire history class...
David Metayer why are you learning about present day cities in a history class?
Kimbo Slice the video also teaches about the history of these cities
Nigel Kushington London is not a present day city it pre dates Romans...
Maybe you should just pay attention in class..... lol
David Metayer that speaks more about you than your classes

Without any doubt, London is the best!
Australia London is muslim capital with sharia law.
@@amon4977 Birmingham and Bradford are even more worse
@@amon4977 Please someone, I need help, did this fool even travel to London? You need to watch Fox news immediately!
@@amon4977 and? Is that a bad thing? Muslims feel safe in London and that's all that matters.
That means a lot coming from the entirety of Australia
I live in London and I am British and I have been on a holiday to NYC and personally London is better
