Usually, at this point, someone comes back with London's Forex primacy. As a lifelong (well, so far) rates guy, I see London as slightly ahead, but for equities and alternatives, NYC never really lost the crown.

ONE thing's for sure, unless they really keep pushing the bankers, NYC+London are uncontested (although buy-side is MUCH more geographically diffuse than sell-side).
