having experienced the transport services in london and paris i can safely say that london is a lot better- i am always confused as to why people are always using the transport as an excuse.
The tube network is extremely good- better than the paris metro, and when there are events at wembley huge numbers of extra tubes are laid on, and after the number of events i have been to (both at the stadium and arena) i have not had to wait more than 10minutes before a tube arrives.
London also has the advantage of a regular cheap bus service- something which i could not find at all in Paris.
