About England
London is the capital of the United Kingdom and England's largest city, known for its long history, global finance, royal landmarks and diverse neighbourhoods. Landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and St Paul's Cathedral reflect its role at the centre of British life.
The city's history spans nearly two millennia, from its Roman founding as Londinium to its growth as a global trading and imperial capital. Medieval sites, Georgian squares, Victorian architecture and modern towers sit side by side, giving London a layered and constantly changing skyline.
Neighbourhoods such as Westminster, the City of London, South Bank, Shoreditch, Camden, Notting Hill and Greenwich each have their own character, from government and finance to markets, music, street food, shopping and riverside walks.
London is also a leading centre for business, technology, finance, education, conferences and the arts. Its theatres, museums such as the British Museum, Tate Modern and the Natural History Museum, and its restaurants, pubs and nightlife draw millions of leisure and business visitors each year.
Whether visiting for history, culture, shopping, business or entertainment, London offers a dense mix of experiences connected by one of the world's most extensive public transport networks.
