Boost for UK as London voted one of the world’s top three cities in global study. London has been voted one of the world’s favourite cities in the largest ever global survey of its kind by Ipsos MORI, covering 18,000 people in 24 countries.

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of north London last night to raise awareness for the plight of the people living in the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane, which is currently under assault from Islamic State (IS) militants.
The protestors marched through Stoke Newington before staging a sit-in at the junction of Stamford Hill.
