Here is the difference between London and NY- London is clean and hardly any homeless people, and where I was I felt completely safe walking around at all times of day. prices are comparable to expensive(cheapest tea in a sit down place will run you around 2 GBP- thats $4! and Im not talking fancy tea, just regular English Breakfast. People I found to be mostly friendly. You walk into a shop people address you as "gentleman".

they keep certain parts of the city clean so that tourists think it's nicer than it is, and i don't know how you managed to avoid seeing a million homeless people (there's something like 80,000 homeless in london). the centre of the city is pretty safe though.
