Why is London so attractive to new migrant?
It's a World "Alpha City"/ "Global Mega City" - extremely diverse, tolerant, and full of economic opportunities.
London is a major international centre of finance, service industries, scientific & medical research, publishing, creative arts, cultural activities, scholarship etc etc..
It's very large (8 million in London proper; nearly 14 million in the "Greater London Metropolitan Zone"), but not too large. In many ways London is a collection of "villages", each with distinct characteristics/ identities, and consequently is less impersonal/ alienating than many other cities of comparable size. Although there are many large buildings and structures, much of it is relatively "low rise", and there is a surprisingly large amount of "green space". In short, it has a much stronger feel of "human scale" than a lot of large cities.
All of human life is in London: there's a place for everyone and anyone, and a remarkably high proportion of the residents are classed as cultural or economic innovators, leaders, and enablers. You can "disappear" in London - if that's what you want, but it's also very easy to find places full of like minded people - no matter how arcane your interests!
As Dr Johnson famously remarked: "He who tires of London is tired of life".
