The capital and largest city of England and the United
Kingdom London and the best
Things to do
stands on the River Thames in south-east England at the
head of a 50-mile (80 km) estuary down to the North Sea,
and has been a major settlement for two millennia. The
City of London, its ancient core and financial centre,
was founded by the Romans as Londinium and retains
boundaries close to its medieval ones. Since the 19th
century, “London” has also referred to the metropolis
around this core, historically split between the counties
of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire,
which largely comprises Greater London, governed by the
Greater London Authority. The City of Westminster, to the
west of the City of London, has for centuries held the
national government and parliament.
As one of the world’s global cities, London exerts strong
influence on its arts, commerce, education,
entertainment, fashion, finance, health care, media,
tourism, and communications, and has previously been
called the capital of the world. Its GDP (€801.66 billion
in 2017) makes it the biggest urban economy in Europe,
and it is one of the major financial centres in the
world. In 2019 it had the second-highest number of ultra
high-net-worth individuals in Europe after Paris and the
second-highest number of billionaires in Europe after
Moscow. As of 2021, London has the most millionaires of
any city. With Europe’s largest concentration of higher
education institutions, it includes Imperial College
London in natural and applied sciences, the London School
of Economics in social sciences, and the comprehensive
University College London. The city is home to the most
5-star hotels of any city in the world. In 2012, London
became the first city to host three Summer Olympic Games.
London’s diverse cultures encompass over 300 languages.
The mid-2018 population of Greater London of about 9
million made it Europe’s third-most populous city,
accounting for 13.4% of the population of the United
Kingdom. Greater London Built-up Area is the fourth-most
populous in Europe, after Istanbul, Moscow and Paris,
with about 9.8 million inhabitants at the 2011 census.
The London metropolitan area is the third-most populous
in Europe after Istanbul’s and Moscow’s, with about 14
million inhabitants in 2016, granting London the status
of a megacity.
London has four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of
London; Kew Gardens; the combined Palace of Westminster,
Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret’s Church; and also the
historic settlement in Greenwich, where the Royal
Observatory, Greenwich defines the Prime Meridian (0°
longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time. Other landmarks
include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly
Circus, St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge and Trafalgar
Square. It has numerous museums, galleries, libraries and
sporting venues, including the British Museum, National
Gallery, Natural History Museum, Tate Modern, British
Library and West End theatres. The London Underground is
the oldest rapid transit system in the world.
