LONDON: A Short City Biopic
(By SimoTheFinlandized - 2021 CE)
===========================================
London is the capital of the United Kingdom and
England. London is the city region with the highest
population in the United Kingdom. With it being located
along River Thames, London has been a central city
since it was founded by the Romans two millennia ago
under the name Londinium. London's original city
center, the City of London, which in 2011 had 7,375
inhabitants on an area of 2.9 km², is England's smallest
city. Since the end of the 19th century, London has also
been used for the urban region that has developed
around this city center. This area forms the region of
London, as well as the Greater London administrative
unit, led by the Mayor of London and the London
Assembly. In modern times, London is one of the
world's most important political, economic and cultural
centers. This is not least due to the fact that London
was the capital of the British Empire and thus for almost
three centuries the center of power for large parts of the
globe. The city itself has around 9.1 million inhabitants
(2018), but if you count the entire metropolitan area of
London (London Metropolitan Area), you reach around
15 million. The city was considered the largest in the
EU by population.
