Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities.

"I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized," she said. "In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares."

People can find any job in London.
