    Here is the a rundown of the top three in various categories:

    I hated visiting London. I don't like it when there are masses of people in one place for a start, but London was taking the piss. Everyone is only out for themselves, there is no logical pattern to where things are (shops, offices, anything), could rant more but I can't be bothered :p

    More foreigners than Brits live and visit London and they are the ones that drop fag ends, spit in the street and dump refuse in the streets. Just look outside any takaway early a.m. and they pile last nights rubish anywere.

    Thank you very much for this information. I believe I have read an article previously that there are places in London that puts penalty to smoke belching vehicles as a way to lessen pollution.
