Back to towns in United Kingdom
London is the capital city of Great Britain, located in south-eastern England. London is situated at the head of the Thames River estuary, west of the river's mouth on the North Sea. One of the world's most important financial and cultural centers, London is noted for its museums, performing arts, exchange and commodity markets. Also prominent are the insurance market and banking facilities. The City of London and 32 surrounding boroughs form the Greater London metropolitan area.
The 13 inner London boroughs are Camden, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Newham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, and the City of Westminster. The 19 outer boroughs are Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Greenwich, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Redbridge, Richmond upon Thames, Sutton, and Waltham Forest.
With a population just short of eight million people, London is Europe's largest city. It spreads across an area in excess of 620 square miles from its centre being the River Thames. Ethnically it's one of Europe's most diverse metropolises: some two hundred languages are spoken within London, and over thirty percent of the population of London is derived from first, second and third generation immigrants.
