London scored 100.5 points and is ranked 11th worst city in Europe and 35th in the world.
Standards measured included air pollution, infectious disease, waste removal, drinking water, and harmful animals and insects.
The survey found that the war on terror had damaged quality of life in the USA, the Middle East and Africa.
