Established soon after the Romans invaded Britain in AD43, the City is where London began, the original London, the place from which today’s thriving metropolis grew.
Such history, and its position as the world’s leading international financial and business centre, have imbued it with a unique character and a distinct identity. Pass between the dragons that mark its entrances and exits and you’ll recognise a difference. This is where ancient and modern sit side by side; where medieval alleyways open out onto major streets; where historic churches snuggle up to soaring glass neighbours; where the past embraces the future.
Over 2,000 years of history are told through its buildings from the remains of its Roman walls to modern icons such as the Lloyd’s Building. Old or new, there is much to marvel at the mighty dome of St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge and 30 St Mary Axe (the Gherkin) are just some of the landmarks that punctuate the City skyline.
Greater London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; the historic settlement of Greenwich; the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; and the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret's Church.
London's population draws from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, and over 300 languages are spoken within the city. As of 2006, it had an official population of 7,512,400 within the boundaries of Greater London and is the most populous municipality in the European Union. As of 2001, the Greater London Urban Area had a population of 8,278,251 and the metropolitan area is estimated to have a total population of between 12 and 14 million. The public transport network, administered by Transport for London, is one of the most extensive in the world, and Heathrow Airport is the busiest airport in the world for international traffic.
