London is the capital city of England and undoubtedly one of the
greatest cities in the world. As the capital of the once mighty
British Empire it has for centuries been at the heart of world commerce.
London is the world's best city for business.
However it is also a friendly, dynamic and modern metropolis which
offers a great quality of live that is admired the world over. Just
imagine: Over 300 languages are spoken in London. One in four Londoners
is from an ethnic minority group. All of the world’s major
religions have places of worship in London. There are 183 synagogues,
130 mosques, 37 Hindu temples, 24 Gurdwaras, 2 Jain temples and
2 Zoroastrian fire temples.
With a total area of 600 square miles, London is vast city and
is home to one in eight of the entire population of Great Britain.
The fact that London has such an impressive public transport infastructure
(metro and bus) means the city becomes a lot smaller.
London really is a city of separate villages each with its own
distinctive character. Walking from one area or village to another
can best savor London’s contrasts. Piccadilly Circus on Oxford
Street is a great place to start your tour of London for a number
of reasons: it is very easily accessible by the Tube, it is the
main shopping street in London and its close proximity to everything
else in London such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Big Ben and
London Eye.
