I am sorry Fashionista. I will have to disagree with you BIGTIME! London is as fantabulous as Paris and New York. Just because it is different does not make it any less beautiful. And I'm not talking about the Arab version of London.
1. You should never compare any city to another. Each has its good and bad points. So please don't compare London to Paris or New York.
2. London's weather may be gloomy and grim nearly all year long, but that's the beauty of it. Wearing winter fashion all the time. And trust me, the weather in the summer is stunning and sometimes hot/tropical.
3. To you Hyde Park is hideous. But it was built way before Central Park. True it has a paved road going through it but can you imagine all the history that it witnessed. Perhaps as much or even more as Bois De Boulogne. And there's always mud because it's winter Hello!
4. And what's wrong with Oxford street. It's not like you have anything better in your home city? It's not just Oxford street as an entity, just look at what it branches into. The choices are endless and as diverse and surprising as any other major city.
5. And if Sloane street was similar to Burjuman, maybe that's because there aren't Brit department stores. You should have explored the old Bond Street, with stores such as Fenwick, and alleyways like Carnaby Street. You love shoes and Carnaby street is a haven for all fashion that is rare and eccentric.
6. Maybe the British fashion was not very inspiring to you, but it's BRITISH fashion. That means dark colors, tweed, black, and grey. But they do come up with interesting combinations. All you needed was a stroll down Portobello market on a cold Saturday. This is one of the most inspiring flea markets ever. Up-coming, hot new designers are always displaying their one'n'only items. Come on, think Stella McCartney. She's British and she's inspiring non?

7. British humor sure is amusing. You seem to have gotten into Absolutely Fabulous. Aren't Edwina and Patsy great?
8. Breakfast at Knightsbridge cafe every morning? No wonder you had a bad experience. You should've tried Richoux or the Tea Room on Westbourne Grove.
9. The wax museum. No offence, but that is lame. Only Japanese tourists should be allowed there. What about the Victoria & Albert Museum? The British museum? The London Bridge museums?
You seem to have touristed the Arab London. What you needed was a true Brit to show you around. Someone with a cockney accent who would have taken you everywhere:eg:
1) lunch on London's eye.
2) A Jack the Ripper walk
3) Dinner at Carluccio's in Chelsea
4) A Saturday rummaging through Portobello market 
5) Afternoon tea and cupcakes at Hummingbird Cafe (only the best cupcakes ever)
6) Shopping at Carnaby Street (where the sex revolution started in the 60's) (think: The Beatles, minis, twiggy and pvc)
7) Topshop as a department store, NOT Selfridges or Harrods or Harvey!
8) A step class at Pineapple studios
9) Brunch at Covent Garden
10) Dinner on the canal at Canary Wharf
11)Soho
12) Chinatown
I sprinkle on you some addictive London tonic! 
Till we meet again,
Sedeso
