As a Londoner, it’s mad how much of the UK’s wealth is concentrated in London.
Remember seeing a stat saying that without London, the UK would be poorer than Mississippi, the poorest state in the US.

Lol only London and Londoners feel like there is a genuine contest here. More and more companies choose to list on NYSE every year, even UK companies increasingly avoid Canary Wharf

London and New York are the two entrants in the ‘Alpha++’ category of the global city ranking methodology:
They’ve swapped places many times. They will continue to in the future.
Both cities are playing the same beat. Different melody, but same beat, and residents of one visiting the other will feel comfortable and as if they’re in strangely familiar territory.

I think it will come down to who ever can build more, better transport and more places to live. Both cities have huge housing issues which are tough issues to solve considering the huge powers that home owners have along with the strict regulations found in both cities.

Non-Brit here: Brexit doesn’t seem to have impacted London’s status as a major financial center of the world. Does that sound right or am I missing something?
