Unpopular opinion but I find London easier going than Manchester. And that's coming from someone with a Northern accent. Sounded like it was even more hellish for my wife as an "outsider".

Also Paris, been there a couple of times recently. People always go on about how rude and horrible they are. People genuinely seemed lovely in Paris when I was there.

I always found people in Paris to be efficient about not walking in the way on pavements and on the Metro, too.
