London vs New York

Oh that never ending comparison between the only two alfa++ cities in the world! [see GaWC world rankings after the jump] As a recent transplant from the west to the east, I have got only complaint - the midnight curfew of London. As the last underground train departs few minutes after 12pm, so does life from the city centre. Unaffordability of cabs does not help either. So one is stuck to hang out around the corner from your apartment flat. The idea of neighbourhoody life is lovely, but what if God forbids my friends live in another neighbourhood. Sleepovers are back in!

So is it London? Do tell about your new job and living situation!
I'm really happy for you.

Sleepovers are not popular in London!!!
There are plenty of night buses, plus Addison Lee taxis and the like are an option as well.
