LONDON: A GLOBAL METROPOLIS

London, the vibrant capital and largest city of both England and the United
Kingdom, stands as a testament to centuries of history, culture, and
innovation. With a population approaching 9 million, it is the largest
metropolis in Western Europe by both population and area, and a significant
global financial hub.

Founded by the Romans as Londinium two millennia ago, London has


consistently been a central city, evolving into one of the world's most
cosmopolitan and influential urban centers. Its rich history is evident in iconic
landmarks such as the Tower of London, a historic fortress, and the Houses of
Parliament with the famous Big Ben.

Beyond its historical significance, London is a thriving modern city. It boasts


an extensive transportation network, including the world's first underground
electric railway, the City and South London Railway, which opened in 1890.
The city is renowned for its diverse cultural scene, offering a vast array of
museums, theaters, shops, and restaurants that cater to every taste. From the
distinctive red double-decker buses to the famous "roundel" symbol of the
London Underground, the city's unique character is woven into its everyday
fabric.

London remains a premier tourist destination, drawing millions annually to


experience its unique blend of tradition and modernity, making it a truly
unforgettable global city.
