Wehn I first moved to London for university way back in '09, I used to say that it felt like a "gigantic version of Orangeville". Or Woodstock times ten. Actually, probably moreso the latter, because London's urban planners essentially sat down and said "we'll just arterialize the concessions, throw in a few collectors, and voila! A city! We're so clever". Hence the "massive town" feel, which the lack of freeways and the massive amounts of downtown surface parking contribute to.
