London is hardest city to navigate

200x190.jpg
People get lost more in London than any other city in the world, a study has found.

12,500 travelers were quizzed about their sense of direction and how easily they found their way around foreign cities.

It was discovered that more people get lost in London than anywhere else in the world, including much bigger cities like Bangkok and Beijing.

A whopping ten percent of people said they find it impossible to navigate around London making it harder than Paris, nine percent, and Bangkok, five percent.

In fact, many of those quizzed by Nokia in London asked researchers the way to the airport so they could get out.
If you do get lost in London you should also be wary of asking locals for directions, one in three admit to deliberately sending people the wrong way.
