Visit the Survey page on the SGI website to know who the winner of the English course in London is and also to know the survey results.

Is there any difference between:

"I've been to London" and "I've been in London"?

Yes, there is. In most instances where you want to say you have visited somewhere, you say you have been to that place:

"I've been to London."
"I've been to the cinema."

In these cases you are using been as the other past participle of go, and you have to use to as the preposition.

However, if you are using been as the past participle, and want to indicate a state, or for how long you were somewhere, you can use been in.
