London is the capital of and largest city in England and the United Kingdom, with the largest municipal population in the European Union. Standing on the River Thames in the south-east of England, at the head of its 50-mile (80 km) estuary leading to the North Sea, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. Londinium was founded by the Romans.

The City of Westminster is also an Inner London borough holding city status. Greater London is governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. Read more on Wikipedia
