Paris or London which would you prefer to spend a couple of days in?

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?

3 days? That is a 5 day trip for me. That said, I enjoy London more.

Paris by a wide margin.

You can't do a trip to a foreign country for anything less than a week. Just not worth it, ISO.
Out of the two choices though, Scruffy would go with London. He has been to Paris, and it was the areas outside of Paris he liked more.
Never been to London.

I was in Europe for something else and went to London one weekend and Paris the next.
London was way better. Paris I didn't really like. My wife didn't either. Just wasn't as good.
We did go to the Normandy area for a few days and it was wonderful. I'd do it over again.
If you just have a few days try Amsterdam. I love The Netherlands as much as any place I've been. lots of fun and easy to get around.

if its just for 3 days, I would just hire a ho with either an English or French accent and hole up in a nice hotel and act like youre wherever. This is especially nice if the missus joins in.
Tea anyone?

I've been to both and enjoyed Paris more, though the people were pretty hostile to Americans. The Brits didn't love me either, however, and the food, drink and women were a lot better in Paris. Also, it's not quite as expensive as London.

Do you like the smell of BO and piss? If so, choose Paris.

Gotcha. Thought you were saying your whole trip was for only 3 days. That would be stupid. 
Been to Paris. It's touristy. The Eiffel Tower is cool, so is the Arc de Triomphe. Powered through the Louvre.
It's a cool place, but I liked the smaller cities more, especially Nice.

Brussels is good. Spent a few days there too. You will really like Germany. I didn't go to Berlin but went to Nuremberg and Munich. I loved the place.
I feel due to the density of cool stuff geographically, London allows you to see more stuff. My wife and I were there for 48 hours and saw a ton of stuff. The dollar is a little stronger against the pound than it was when I went but I still spent $1200 in two days and we didn't splurge.

Amsterdam is perfect for 3 days

Yeah in Brussels we plan on doing a day tour of Bruge and Ghent and another of Antwerp so really we only plan on 2 days in the actual city.

HAHAHA my wife and I said, this smells just like Bourbon Street when we went. I am absolutely not joking.

When you are in the subway in Brussels and you see the guy selling the waffles, don't get freaked out. Buy one immediately. They are incredible. It will be the first of many you buy there.
Also, the doors stay open for seconds... you gotta be fast.
