It seems us Londoners just can’t reach a consensus on what we think of controversial figures Russell Brand and Jeremy Clarkson.

Comedian-turned-activist Brand has been named as the subject that splits opinion the most in the capital, followed by former Top Gear presenter Clarkson.

Selfies and Facebook come next on the list, with reality TV family the Kardashians rounding off the top five.

The list was compiled based on what got the strongest reaction either way, love or loathe, in a survey of people’s personal tastes on celebrities, foods, brands and other things with the power to prompt extreme responses.

You can see the top 50 below – bizarrely, London itself is one of the things that most divides opinion in, erm, London.

One major omission is Katie Hopkins but then maybe researchers couldn’t find enough people with positive views on her.

The survey also found out London’s favourite summer flavours – they are strawberries, ice cream and Pimms if you’re interested.
