About London
London is England’s and the United Kingdom’s capital and largest city. It has been a prominent settlement for two millennia on the River Thames in south-east England, at the head of a 50-mile (80-kilometer) estuary that leads to the North Sea. The City of London, the city’s historic core and financial hub, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and retains medieval limits. Since the 19th century, “London” has also referred to the metropolis around this center, which is mostly made up of the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire, and is managed by the Greater London Authority. For centuries, the national government and parliament have been housed in the City of Westminster, which is located to the west of the City.
London, as a global city, has a significant impact on the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, health care, media, tourism, and communications. It has the largest urban economy in Europe and is one of the world’s major financial capitals, with a GDP of €801.66 billion in 2017. It has the second-highest number of ultra-high-net-worth persons in Europe after Paris in 2019, and the second-highest number of billionaires of any European city after Moscow in 2019. Imperial College London in scientific and applied sciences, the London School of Economics in social sciences, and the comprehensive University College London make up Europe’s greatest concentration of higher education institutions. The city has the highest concentration of 5-star hotels of any city on the planet. London became the first city in the world to hold three Summer Olympic Games in 2012.
