The London Story

United Kingdom's capital is the city of London. With a history spanning nearly two millennia, it is one of the oldest and most cosmopolitan big cities in the world. It is also the country's economic, transportation, and cultural hub. London is by far Britain's largest metropolis.

The mayor at the moment is Sadiq Khan. He sets policies to make London better for everyone and leads the city as a whole.

The budget is determined by the Mayor of London, who is also in charge of improving the city for everyone who visits, resides, or works there. Every four years, the mayor is chosen to serve.

For ages, The City has been a gathering place for people to form new ideas that spread throughout the world. Its innovative energy is always changing.

It's the site where the Romans built Londinium, Dickens penned books, and Shakespeare lived, worked, and dreamed. Where the first wireless signals were sent, and where green tech code is still created today. Commerce and culture coexist.

Under your feet are Roman ruins, and above your head are glass towers. All three eras are present at once.

Additionally, there are countless stories everywhere you turn. Innovators, villains, heroes, and creators. Ancient alleys, secret gardens, rooftop bars, the newest eateries, culture, and special events. It happened here, and it's occurring here right now.

London's history can be traced back to three distinct centers: the walled Roman settlement on the banks of the Thames, now known as the City of London, "the Square Mile," or simply "the City"; the suburb of Southwark, located across the bridge on the lower gravels of the south bank; and the City of Westminster, located a mile upstream on a significant southward bend of the river. The three towns each played a unique and complementary role. London, or "the City," became a hub for trade, business, and banking. The main theaters of Elizabethan London—the Rose (1587), the Swan (1595), and the renowned Globe (1599)—were located in Southwark, often known as "the Borough," along with its monasteries, hospitals, inns, fairs, and pleasure palaces.

Westminster was built around an abbey, which also brought a royal palace and the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the British state in its wake. Along with having roomy parks, it also has the West End, one of the most upscale neighborhoods for living and shopping.

Southeast England is home to London, which is located along the River Thames about 50 miles (80 km) upstream from its estuary on the North Sea. The metropolis appears to be tightly packed in a Green Belt of open space on satellite images, with its main ring road (the M25 motorway) encircling it at a distance of around 20 miles (30 km) from the city center. In the middle of the 1950s, rigorous town planning regulations stopped the growth of the built-up region. Its physical boundaries roughly coincide with the administrative and statistical lines that divide Greater London's metropolitan county from the "home counties" of Kent, Surrey, and Berkshire (in clockwise order) to the south of the river and Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Essex to the north of the river.

The historical counties of Kent, Hertfordshire, and Essex encompass a sizeable portion of the metropolitan county of Greater London, which was established in 1965, in addition to the contemporary administrative counties using the same names. Greater London is historically divided into two counties: Surrey owns the majority of the land south of the Thames, and Middlesex owns the most of the land north of the Thames. Area 607 square miles (1,572 square km) make up Greater London. Greater London had a population of 7,172,091 in 2001 and 8,173,941 as of polls in 2011.
