dont think you can say there is a "capital of the world" really, they are both pretty similar as they are both very large, an wealthy and betweeen them host a varst proportion of the worlds banking. however they dont compete, they both benefit each other and loads of bussiness' have huge offices in both cities,
i would however say that as new york is bigger and slightly more wealthy it is the "capital" even though i dont think there is one, im just answering your question++ Positive Crew ++

They are fairly equal, NYC seems to edge a tiny bit ahead.

Lol NY is a dirty shiit hole. People I know who have gone tell me how there is nothing but poor bums in NY, it is one big hole aside from a couple of clean parts. London actually STRIVES to keep its streets clean, and there are only a handful of shiity areas. And even those areas are better than what some would consider "respectable" in NY.
Lol @ people who talk about how much money the high rollers are pulling in as if it's an indication of anything. And how much of that money are you seeing to the improvement of your lifestyle and environment? London is clean, the people are generally easy to get along with, and you don't feel like you're going to get murdered when you're outside late at night.

London is still the financial capital of the world.

I vote London due to superior public transport system and multiculturalism. Been to NYC and I think it's awesome but I'll have to give my vote to LDN.
And **** skyscrapers in London, you guys trying to block the tiniest bit of sun we already get? Haha.If you yin it up all day, you gotta yang it up all night.
