It hugely depends on what you're looking for. Don't get me wrong... London is a wonderful young and vibrant city, but e.g. for a relaxed older couple interested in art, classical music, history and like strolling through pedestrian areas in old city quarters a city like Milano, Rome or Venice will come out first.
It really depends on who you are and where you're interests lie.

London is a good arrival point for doing Europe with Eurostar onto the continental train network a good way of seeing the country without the hassle of airports.

Really according to every report I've read. A quick google search shows me countries, but not cities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tourism_rankings

This is a bit old (2013) but London comes out on top:

Anyway, I guess this goes nowhere. Let's conclude London is worth a visit, so are other places

The two are different and both are worth visiting for what they have to offer. I do my best to enjoy each place I visit for what it has to offer. Do I like some places more than others? Absolutely! Will someone else see it the way I do? Probably not, c'est la vie.

How anyone can do Europe for the first time and not take in London is beyond me.
However,if you're going to Venice I would recommend this restaurant.

The reason we are not doing London in this busy trip is because it has a special place for me. I have been to London and absolutely love it. We are planning a separate 10-15 day trip where we'll chill in London and Scotland only :-)
cheers!
