London
London is the capital of England and the UK and is among the oldest and most cosmopolitan of the world’s great cities. With a history spanning nearly two millennia, London grew from three distinct centres: The City of London, Southwark, and Westminster. It is situated on the River Thames and has a temperate marine climate. London is home to a diverse population of around 9 million people - from a plethora of nationalities, cultures and religions, with over 300 languages spoken - a population that over time has shaped the city's culture into what it is today.
London is a bustling, thriving centre for the arts, fashion, media, entertainment, education, politics, science, sports and finance.
