I visit London from time to time and these videos are pretty accurate. Most of London looks like this. The only place I have been to that wasn't was Wimbledon. It is pretty ironic that the guy is speaking in Welsh in the first video. The survival of the Welsh identity and language is due to the stubborn refusal of the Welsh nation to be absorbed and overrun by the English for about the last 1500 years and should be a lesson in persistence to all endangered nations. (I am not Welsh. I just appreciate their pride and nationalism)The thing about London is that is not part of England any more. It is a great place to visit - but it is not England, even though it dominates the rest of the country in terms of size, population, money etc.
