[WATCH] How Does New York City Compare Against London?

The Infographics Show recently created this great animated video comparing the two great cities of New York City and London across varying subjects such as population, density, crime, transportation and other City statistics. While avoiding declaring a winner, the channel does seem to make a pretty strong case that NYC is the top dog where it counts, so we'll take it as a win.

According to Travel and Leisure magazine, the best city in the world right now you could visit is San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, followed by Charleston in the USA, followed by Chiang Mai in Thailand. These three places, however, don’t even get on the top 20 places to actually live, in this year’s Quality of Living Index, a yearly list compiled by HR firm, Mercer. Apparently, if you want to live the good life, you should move to Vienna, Austria, Zurich, Switzerland, or Auckland, New Zealand. The top twenty list doesn’t include any cities from the UK or the USA, two countries that have arguably been the two heavyweights in the last century regarding power and wealth. These two countries, however, contain cities that attract millions of overseas visitors every year. Today we are going to compare them, in this episode of the Infographics Show, New York City vs London.
