LONDON has been named the dirtiest and most expensive European city in a new survey. The UK capital edged out Paris for the unwanted title of filthiest city in a survey of travellers from the TripAdvisor company. Paris was runner-up to London as the most expensive city but the UK capital fared far better in other categories being voted the best for nightlife and parks. Despite being considered pricey, London is second only to Paris for having the best shopping. The French capital is considered to have the most unfriendly hosts, followed by London and Moscow. Brussels - despite its beer, chocolate and chips - has been voted the most boring Europe…
