The sprawling capital city of the United Kingdom is home to over 7 million people and covers 610 square miles (1,580 square kilometers). Considered one of the great world cities, London was founded in A.D. 43 and remains the center of the British Empire, with its symbolic royalty, stunning castles and rich history. As powerful as it is trendy, London is an international hub for finance, politics, fashion and culture. With far more than just tea and scones on offer, you'll find a mind-boggling choice of dining options and plenty of things to do and see. With a fantastic subway system, the famous double-decker, red buses and scads of black taxis, getting around is easy despite the city's enormity.
