London 360°

The City of London is the largest city based on population and is the capital of the United Kingdom as well as England. London is also one of the largest urban areas in the entire European Union. London's history goes back to Roman times when it was called Londinium. Remnants of London's ancient history are still visible today as the city's historic core is still surrounded by its medieval boundaries

Not only is London the capital city of the U.K., but it's also the most urbanised. Standing on the River Thames and located in southern England, London covers 1,579 square km (610 sq. mi). The River Thames cuts London in half, creating northern and southern halves. Because the city was built on the floodplain of the River Thames, London resulted in being a lowland, meaning the city is generally flat. Much of England's population is concentrated in London.
