Welcome to London, capital of England and the United Kingdom, and a city that has been thriving hub of activity for over two millennia since the Romans founded a small settlement called Londinium. London certainly thrives today as one of the most visited global cities, and a world leader in arts, technology, education and commerce. Young or old, there's something here for everyone in this never-ending expanse of culture and activity, in a city that operates 24/7, with over 8 million people, speaking 300 languages. History and facts aside, London is a city of excitement, whether you're into food, nightlife, fashion or entertainment, you wont be disappointed.
