My view is not really North American-centric, though.
In terms of imagery and other identifiers and reference markers, even continental Europeans tend to have a clearer and greater focus on NYC than they do on London. (Which is not to say that London is out of mind completely.)
I can say this with some assurance for several nationalities, and have no reason to suspect most of the others are any different.
