Our travel plans are gradually turning from liquid phase to a gel, and
we're going to be in York (as in UK, not Pennsylvania!*) 16-17 June.
You've caught "London, England Syndrome":

He's almost got a point about being dumb in America. But, I'm pretty
sure if he wears a hat no one will notice it. I could feel my IQ being
siphoned away just reading his drivel.
I don't think the damage is permanent; just have get some brain exercise
- a couple of NY Times cross-word puzzles should do the trick.
According to Google Answers, there are 18 places in the United States
named "London". Wikipedia has entries for 8 of them.

I didn't try to count how many instances of "New London" there are in
the US. Or "Paris".
