Scotland has haggis, whisky, Loch Ness, and the world's coolest accent. Northern Ireland has the Giant's Causeway, the IRA, and a dramatic modern history. But England has character -- despite atrocious food, bars that close at 11:00, and a ludicrous devotion to the royal family. From the stylish telephone booths, taxicabs, and subway cars (which sadly shut down at midnight) to the Royal Albert Hall and Westminster, London is undoubtedly the world's second-coolest English-speaking city.
