Everything about it - the trains run on time, they are clean. The restaurants and hotels are grand. Cozy places to relax everywhere. Many avenues are dense with bright trees and ivy - there seem to be whole countrysides in the greater london area.
Even the lesser immigrants and refugees, rightfully maligned, are fathoms better behaved than those in the major cities of France or the US.
The weather is underrated.
But most of all the remaining customs of the british people are to be decent, honorable, and to respect their and others' stations in life. In New York or Paris you might have been castigated and screeched at by some waiter for not wearing a mask well into 2021. In London they defaulted to respectful deference for the most part.
The British empire has fallen and turned its worst caprices and bureaucratic autism inward on its own citizens, turning them to mere subjects, but the luster of its capital still shines.
