the traffic is less than in Leeds

yes the centre of london is congested but the burbs isn't , well not unless wet spam are at home and then it does clog up with the extra thousands of vehicles , but that would happen anywhere.
It's the impression you get from the media and Eastenders, it does advertise a very good picture. I used to work in Londan and I used to like sitting outside those corner tea shops watching the word go by. There's really nice leafy area's but if you take the image that Eastender's and some of the other London based TV programs, they paint a much worse picture.
