Better London or the villages in the English countryside?

Think England, think London...London is without question one of the most beautiful and famous cities in the world, and the automatic association between this vibrant, multi-ethnic metropolis and the nation of which it is the capital is inevitable.

But Britain is not just London - in many ways, the real soul of England lies more in the beautiful rural counties and picture-postcard villages that are scattered across the English countryside than on the banks of the Thames.

I have lived six years in both places and in this video I tell you what, based on my experience, are the pros and cons of living in London and in a village.

Join me as we engage in one of the most passionate debates that divides the British people: what is better, London, or the country villages?
