Question

My wife is very fond of London.

I recently noticed someone saying "She wants to come to London" whereas I used to stay "She wants to go to London".

Is there a difference between the 2 statements or are they completely exchangeable?

If I am in New York, I say "She wants to go to London." If I am in London, I say "She wants to come to London". I use "come" for moving to my location. Otherwise I use "go".
