I'd like to qualify my earlier statement about Brompton gears. I also live in London, and if I was planning to continue doing so I might well get a Brompton, cost be damned! The gears are more than good enough for fairly flat places.
(I'm moving to San Francisco in January, so I don't think a 46"+ low gear will cut it.)
