See, I don't get that feeling of demandingness, or that you have to keep up with the city. I love London deeply - it is *my* city and the only place I really want to live - but I also feel comfortable with it. It irritates me occasionally (the sheer size and the implications for getting around the place, for example; the humidity when it's hot like this; the pollution), but I don't feel under pressure from it, and I don't feel like I need a plan, or an aim, to be happy living here.
I wonder if growing up here makes a difference (though admittedly I grew up in Greater London, rather than Inner London)?
