I still live in London, UK, where I was born and brought up, and I love my city a lot. There's more history here than you can shake a stick at - people have lived on this land under a similar name since at least Roman times - and it's a fantastic place to live. We have great public transport, genuine diversity, a whole bunch of famous tourist attractions and landmarks, great art and architecture, and no matter your taste and culture, something is probably happening to entertain you somewhere in London every night of the year.

My home town is Eltham, a suburb of south-east London. We have lots of history there too (we were one of the earliest "commuter villages" thanks to railway links out to Kent built in the mid-19th century, and a commuter town for the arms factory during the First World War too) - probably the most interesting historical fact I know about Eltham is that one of the local cemeteries holds the grave of the very first Australian Aborigine to visit Europe.

That's really interesting.
