Best of all, the people of London are friendly and kind.
El mejor de todos, la gente de Londres es simpática y amable.
Should it be 'es' or 'son' in this case?

'La gente' is singular, so it should be 'es'.
I would change your sentence a little into:
El mejor de todos es que la gente de Londres es simpática y amable.

la gente is singular and hence take singular verb forms, adjectives etc - mcl020, Feb 15, 2013
I agree with you now after rereading my answer "es" and no "s" on the words simp...and am... - whiterockjesse, Feb 15, 2013
