Donald RoyToday's #ftweekend contains an interesting perspective on #london , Measured in terms of international trips #london was among the top ten destination cities this year . Nowhere in the #us makes it to the top ten and only #istanbul and #paris elsewhere in #europe do so. The other seven cities comprise #antalya , #bangkok , #dubai , #hongkong , #kualalumpur . #macau and #mecca .
A further perspective on #london is that assuming #sadiqkhan completes his third term as mayor he will be firmly in the same league as #fiorellolaguardia in #Newyork and #karllueger in #vienna as really consequential mayors of big cities. His legacy in #london is likely to be far better than that of #lueger in #vienna - although I suspect that there would be many in the #us who would much prefer #lueger - and may be broadly comparable to that of #laguardia in #newyork .
