Are there a lot of foreigners in London?
My hubby and I are thinking about taking a trip to London. We have never been there before. Someone told us that there were a lot of foreigners there. We didn't like New York City because of that. The cabs and service people were horrible. You couldn't understand them. Are there a lot of foreigners in London or will we be dealing with real English people?

I expect this is a troll, but in any case am glad to say that London is full of
people of various colours, with various accents and family histories. They are often cabbies and service people, and they do a good job. I'm what you'd call real English person, and if we met you wouldn't find much that we have in common.
Please write if I can explain further.

MarcyJo,
There are no real English according to some historians. The indigenous inhabitants of what is now England (who knows what it was called then?)were all wiped out by the Saxons, Angles and Jutes prior to the 9th century. Everyone in England, including you, is a foreigner. Since Great Britain granted independence to its colonies in the 1960s you'll find citizens and their dependents from these colonies now living in England: Aden, Anguilla, Antiqua, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Basutoland, Bechuanaland, Bermuda, British Guiana, British Honduras, British Indian Ocean Territories, British Virgin Islands, Burma, Canada, Cape Colony, Central African Federation, Ceylon, Cyprus, Dominica, Falklands, Fiji, Gambia, Gibraltar, Gold Coast, Grenada, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Leeward Islands, Malaya, Mauritius, Montserrat, New Zealand, Nigeria, Nyasaland, Pakistan, Pitcairn, Rhodesia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Africa, St. Helena, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Swaziland, Tanganyika, Tonga, Trinidad & Tobago, Tristan da Cunha, Turks and Caicos Islands, Uganda, Vanuatu and Zanzibar plus the descendents of Angles, Jutes and Saxons.
On top of all that you'll be faced with foreigners intimately every day - you, yourselves, a thought I find particularly distressing.
The only true Englishman left is me and I never existed.
Have you considered two weeks in the Antarctic? You'll have no problems with foreigners there. Do pack light.
