Hi, there.

Look at this sentence:

#1. She came to London five years ago and still lives there.

Does this sentence sound right ?

Do you need to rewrite it like these?

#2. She came to London five years ago and still lives here (in London).
#3. She went to London five years ago and still lives there.

What do you think?

Thanks.

I agree with you 2. and 3. are preferable.
If she "came " to London that means you were already there, so "here" is correct.
