Ah, the good old Top 10 lists popularized in blogs and jump-jetted to fame by YouTube behemoths like WatchMojo. It almost feels like the lists are the quintessence of engaging storytelling as you can fit so much content into a tender form without overburdening it with any irrelevant information.

I guess that’s why people love top 10 posts. And, I guess that’s why people hate them as much. Feel free to share your side in the comments below, but as for now, we are going to share the ultimate list of lists I’m sure that people from both sides of the barricades will find something interested in.

In London the chances are that you’ll stay right where you were with the wine and the drinks unless you know your commuting routes.
