I've only been to London (and I've also been to NYC, to be able to compare), but I think they'd be really comfortable in that city. I couldn't imagine them being comfortable in the country.
Both London and NYC are a city of immigrants; there are so many people there from different cultures, it's awesome. But that also meant that no one treated me like a curiosity for my accent.
London doesn't smell as bad as NYC, and it's a little cleaner (I don't remember seeing trash bags piled on the sidewalk like I did in NYC).
Matt might get tripped up by how many random one-way streets there are (he couldn't be able to see the "Look Left/Right" sign spray-painted on the ground).
The Tube system is also a hella lot cleaner and less scary than the new york subway (though Matt might get lost a bit; some of the stations go very deep underground)
