Rotherham pros: surrounded by mostly farmer's fields, very little would wake me up, except for...
Rotherham cons: ...occasional explosions from the nearby steel works. Yes, explosions. One memorable large one was on the night of 11th September 2001. My sister and I ran to my room, fresh with fear from watching the news all day, to look out the window to see a mushroomy-style cloud in the distance. We were convinced for a second that it was terrorism, but then we realised that Rotherham may not be a target, and the whole thing was unfortunate coincidence.
London cons: People walking around at night leaving bars, clubs, and so on, yelling drunkenly at each other. The most memorable exclamation was the other night, with some bloke screaming louder than anyone has ever screamed before: "YOU FUCKING CUUUUUUNT!" at half three in the morning. I laughed it off and went back to sleep. Also, nearby there is a very cheap hostel that has a lot of young folk staying. This too can be briefly noisy, but there is an advantage in that...
London pros: ...you can totally watch chaps getting dressed. Nightly. Across the road from me.
If anyone can make it to my flat warming on Thursday night, rest assured the entertainment is sorted. Feel free to bring binoculars.
