I have an easier time in NY (which, to be fair, I have been using my whole life, vs. about 6 months' cumulative time spent in London over the last 20 years). For me it is a lot simpler to choose between "uptown" and "downtown" instead of Epping vs. West Ruislip, for example. That doesn't do much for people who haven't the faintest idea where Epping or West Ruislip are!
