London
London, city, capital of
the United
Kingdom. It is among the oldest of the world’s great cities—its history

centre. In satellite photographs the metropolis can be seen to sit compactly
in a Green Belt of open land, with its principal ring highway (the M25
motorway) threaded around it at a radius of about 20 miles (30 km) from the
city centre.

I just wanted to know about the
London, and I pray hope can study here. Also in England. The London familiar to international
visitors is a much smaller place than that. Tourist traffic concentrates on
an area defined by the main attractions, each drawing between one and seven
million visitors in the course of the year: Buckingham Palace, the British Museum,
the National
Gallery, Westminster
Abbey, Madame
Tussaud’s waxwork collection, the Tower of London,
the three great South Kensington museums (Natural
History, Science,
and Victoria
and Albert), and the Tate galleries.
