Really?
As someone who's had to work from home for over a year and is absolutely hating it, kindly stuff your poorly informed judgemental rubbish where the sun don't shine.
As for London, too big for me, fun to visit, wouldn't live there. Decent transport though, a standing example as to how disastorous the conservative deregulation of bus services outside of London was. Also, in some parts anyway, leading the UK on half decent cycling infrastructure that enables it as a transport option for non-enthusiasts.
At the same time it also irritates in the general exceptional treatment it gets such as the additional powers and funding (though not very much of the latter these days) that should have been rolled out to other English councils & cities years ago.
