If we are talking big towns, then yes, to me, in London is were you find more polite and friendly people. After London for me Paris comes in second (coming from london yourself parisians may seem cold, but you should compare them witn other big towns in europe!!!), and as much as spaniards have the reputation of being friendly and open, I have to say that if we are talking big european cities, in Madrid you will find the colder and less helping population in Europe!!!!
(if we were comparing countries, then the less friendly would be the eastern countries by far!!!!)
No I ain't from London (but i lived there, and a lot my friends still live there), I have lived most of my life in Dublin (athough I'm not orginally from there either). I've lived a lot of places: Paris, London. Liverpool, Galway blah blah. Compared to places like Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Parisians I don't think are the friendlist; like I said though I absolutely love Paris (and Parisians), and would move back there in a nano second. Love France in general. Your right though, Londoners are friendlier then us Dubliners. Never been to any big Spanish cities, I am afraid that my experiences there have been limited to beach holidays in Marbella, and the like. Madrid, Barcelona and Seville (which I here is divine) and definitely on my list though.
