My experience of London was that it is pretty much like most major cities with a slightly easier to understand mass transit system. It is every bit as expensive as everyone says it is and the historical landmarks are as impressive and interesting as any I have ever seen. The people I encountered from fellow tube passengers to the waiters to the hotel were all very pleasant, kind, witty and helpful. The real surprise was the food. Gordon Ramsey's restaurants are every bit worthy of the hype, from the casual neighborhood feel of Foxtrot Oscar to the perfect presentation and service of Petrus it was an inspired and impressive showing. The service and the food were incredibly varied and appropriate for each setting and style but all were stunning and memorable. None were more exceptional than Jean-Phillipe's Petrus. His warmth and charm made it almost like having a friend in London. Obviously a person who loves his job and enjoys people, you would never know he was on a major network TV show.
