That's like comparing the beautiful English, Welsh, and Scottish countryside with Detroit, or the Bronx region of New York City. (Then again, NYC has Manhattan - quite a contrast to the Bronx area. Like many large cities around the world, London also has it's share of bad areas and it's share of extremely popular and nice areas.)
We have beautiful and peaceful countryside areas too, lots of culture and folk festivals and historic castles, lots of charismatic thatched stone cottages and charming old villages and ancient architecture... you can take scenic and traditional steam train rides through the countryside here... we also have mountains in Scotland and Wales and the Lake District in northern England.

London is a very large place. Which area and borough of London did you live?!
London is a totally different place to the rest of England and to the rest of the UK.
I'm originally from the south-west coast of beautiful Dorset in the West Country. I live in Little Venice in Westminster, Central London. I made some videos of my home area on my YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/lilyeve...=Little+Venice
There's advantages and disadvantages to life in London. It's great for finding work opportunities, meeting people, choices of foods, shops, range of services, easy travel, etc.... I love the convenience of having everything closeby.... but it's expensive and overcrowded and has too much multiculturalism (and I feel a bit alienated here sometimes in my own country,) and it's often very busy and noisy during the day.
I was born and raised in Dorset and spent my childhood in Kent, Hampshire, and Dorset, and I miss the countryside at times. I also love nature. I'm versatile though and can adapt to living in the countryside, seaside towns, and cities. I like the numerous large parks and green spaces in London and I love Kew Gardens.
Have you visited Wales?
Have you visited the ancient City of Bath in Somerset, south-west England? The entire city is a World Heritage Site.
Have you visited The Cotswolds in England, or the Highlands of Scotland?
Edinburgh is a city that's rich in history and culture.
I wouldn't mind moving further north as it's too warm for my liking in southern England. I love rain and I prefer cooler climates.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere where there's earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, heatwaves, extreme heat, bush fires, etc.

My Grandad and family beyond are from the least populated district in England out of 326 regions. The Density is 24 people per Km2. its area size is 827 sq mi (2,142 km2) and the population is 52 thousand. It is also ranked number one for Greenspace at 97.9%
Was there on holiday exploring in 2017 and it is about as far from London as can get. Parts of the lake District and Pennines are within the Eden District and are places would reccomend if anyone wants to see the emptier scenic England.(if you don't mind rain)

I lived in central London close to Hyde park. Yeah it was too multicultural for me as well since I am from a small closed off European country. I never visited the English countryside much except for Reading. I don't know if I'd wanna visit tbh. Nature can be found everywhere and I am more drawn to America but I can't deny the UK has some lovely nature as well like all European countries

idk man looking at the political climate in the UK makes me feel a bit more inclined to the good ol' US of A.
The region I live in is actually quite pretty and relaxed if you stay outside of the cities.

If the two Anglosphere giants struck down multikult and were under a common government, I wouldn't have an opinion either way. I'm uncomfortable establishing a preference. If in the UK, I'd rather live in the Lake District. If in the US, that would have to be Alaska.

For all its flaws: UK. The only thing that America has to offer mankind is an abundance of space. I do think, however, that the UK needs to sort out its housing problem: some of their housing stock is barely fit for purpose in this day and age and many of their neighbourhoods really need better maintenance. I also noticed that, for children, there isn't much of the outdoor culture that we have here. So that would be a problem if the better half and I have kids.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
