London is the capital and largest city of the United Kingdom, standing on the River Thames in southeastern England. With a history stretching back nearly 2,000 years, it was founded by the Romans as Londinium in 43 AD. Today, it is a global hub for finance, culture, and education, home to over 9 million people and more than 300 spoken languages. Key aspects of the city include:

  • Historical Landmarks: London features four UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Tower of London, Maritime Greenwich, Westminster Palace, and Kew’s Royal Botanic Gardens. Other iconic structures include Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and St. Paul's Cathedral.
  • Cultural Institutions: The city hosts world-renowned museums such as the British Museum, the National Gallery, and the Tate Modern. The West End is famous for its vibrant theater scene and high-end shopping on Oxford Street.
  • Economy and Governance: The City of London, often called the "Square Mile," serves as a global financial center with its own ancient local government separate from the 32 other boroughs of Greater London.
  • Transport and Greenery: London is known for the London Underground (the "Tube"), the world's oldest underground railway. It also boasts extensive green spaces, including Hyde Park and Regent's Park.
