> London is a very low density city - it very quickly becomes 2-3 storey terraced houses, even in central areas. To me this was actually quite surprising. I remember my first time visiting London. Apart from the very center with a bunch of towers, the impression I had was "this isn't a city, it feels like a small town".

... and if you want to go visit somebody or something on the other side of the same city, expect easily 2-3 hours regardless of mode used, so a lot of people just don't. Its bearable place but you are literally stuck in it, at least compared to places which are smaller or more concentrated where you actually do and see stuff, not just spend your day getting to/from it
