I'm just mapping out how to get from A to B to C to D in London during the next days. I studied in London, and have visited occasionally since, so I know the city fairly well. But I always underestimate the distances - and in particular the traffic and construction on the tube. I've packed my schedule full in order to maximize networking, and am now regretting all those 30 minute meetings I have between South Kensington and Farringdon, and back, and forth.... Another pro-Berlin reason. Hop on my bike and I'm at pretty much any office I need to go to in five minutes. Or I can take a subway or bus, and make it further out in ten - without any traffic or full services. Or a cheap taxi ride if things get tight (well, cheap is relative, but for Europe it's great here). But I'm sure I'll enjoy it nevertheless, although I unfortunately don't have any free time this time around - and London without a stroll through the Tate Modern just won't feel as homely (I lived literally behind the Tate Modern for a year).
