The modern city of London is the capital of England and it's very name implies history and grandeur. It's the top city in Europe in terms of size, population and per-capita wealth. What strikes visitors most importantly about London is the sheer size of this city, dispersing over a massive region from its core on the River Thames, which meanders through the city centre, splitting it into northern and southern halves.

The central area and the key sights, theatres and restaurants are within the London underground train Circle Line on the northern bank of the River Thames. The modern and tourist-ridden West End of London lies inside the western area of the loop and includes Soho, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and Regent Street. Those without local roots will find this enormous metropolis interestingly diverse, and other than English, around 200 various languages are spoken within its confines, and all major religions are represented. Sometimes, London can feel more like a country than just a city.
