Hard to choose. I'd say if you are a food lover, go to Paris.

London. Paris is a shite hole.

Another great city to visit near Brussels and have some of the greatest beer is Mechelen. Drink some Carolus. LINK
As for London vs. Paris, London has much more to see and easy to visit and get around IMO, especially for Americans. I can't count how many times I've been to London as most of my business is conducted there.
You can't go wrong with either. My only advice is not to form your opinion on only one visit. You'd be surprised how you can easily change a negative opinion of a foreign city after a second visit!
Enjoy!!

You will really like Germany. I didn't go to Berlin but went to Nuremberg and Munich. I loved the place.

Looking at booking a 3 day trip to either Paris or London in July. Looking at Tripadvisor both have a lot of things that would interest me. For those that have been to both (or one or the other) what can you tell me about your experiences?
London because they speak English, or at least I could understand them more than the Frenchies.
The food would be a lot better in France though

London was super expensive when I went there. It was really nice but kind of bland for such a major city. (not saying there isn't plenty of awesome stuff to see, just not as much as other major Euro cities I've been to) It was easy to get around and it was nice to be able to speak the language.
Paris was gorgeous architecturally wise and had amazing museums but the people tended to have less patience w/my lack of language skills compared to elsewhere in Europe. (this was right before we invaded Iraq so that may have been a big part of it) The biggest issue I had with Paris was it was really dirty. They were just spraying all the garbage on the streets into the sewers. The tour guide even pointed it out like it was a smart thing to do.
Anyway, both cities on the whole were great places to visit. If you speak enough French to ask for basic directions, I'd go to Paris. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of running into people that can't speak English, go to London.
Either way you will have a great time.

London is much better than Paris IMO. I was in London for 4 days and still didn't do everything I wanted to

Are those your only two options? If not then I'd go to Madrid. Hands down.

No they are not, but those are places that the GF would like to visit. If I was going alone it would be Barcelona

Parisans make it the worst. They all have a stick up their arse. City has a lot to see though.
London by far. Those old blokes have a randy good time

London has great food; it's just not the English cuisine that's great.

London. And don't sweat the food there. Just plan on hitting Nandos multiple times.

If you are looking for food though, San Sebastián is where it's at.
