less polluted, more watar quality, much less apartment prices, more population even less multi-cultured, less waiting time in healthcare, more safety, much more successful in food industry
but working environment is more bad in tokyo, even considering about UK is also relatively not good/low salary when compared to West Europe/Australia
if you are female or rich male , Tokyo is much better
If you do come here, city living can be lonely and hard. While it is fun when you're young as you will flatshare, it is a roulette and costs will continue to increase over the next 5 years as of time of writing. Come for your career. Cut your teeth on the city and spend hours talking to everyone and anyone, but use the money to explore other areas, other countries. It's a good platform to see Europe from, even now.
Don't worry about the cultural hotspots though; wherever the university students end up because it's so cheap usually becomes the next place half the city try and get into on a Saturday night.
Moved here in 1998 having lived in Birmingham, Southampton, Leeds. Never looked back. I love London.
On the downside a lot of the interesting bits are being ever more gentrified which is slowly killing the character of the place. But that can happen to every big city.
There are only two downsides to London: it's expensive (if you are on a regular wage) and it's attached to the rest of the United Kingdom, like a chain-gang. Londoners were overwhelmingly against Brexit, on self-evident principle. Much of the rest of the UK was pro-Brexit, riding a wave of self-sabotaging prejudice.
Fortunately the rest of the UK is as irrelevant as the American flyover states or Australia.
