London, England's capital city
is the largest and among the oldest cities in Europe. It has always been
one of the great artistic, cultural and creative centers of the world
and nowadays it is known for it's lively, multicultural atmosphere. It's
unique restaurants, clubs, fashion, hotels and people bring the
historical center to life. It is not surprising that Newsweek Magazine
dubbed it the 'coolest city on the planet' with the huge variety of
attractions it has to offer.
More than 300 museums and
galleries can be found in this cultural city which contain everything from
ancient ruins to art spanning over the last five centuries and postmodern
collections. Art and culture is spread all over this fabulous metropolis and
due to it's unique history many small aspects of traditional European life
still spring up everywhere.
London is situated in
southeastern England along the Thames River. With a population of about 7
million, this vast metropolis is by far the largest city in Europe, a
distinction it has maintained since the 17th century. In the 19th century it
was the largest and most influential city in the world, the center of a
large and prosperous overseas empire. Although it no longer ranks among the
world's most populous cities, London is still one of the world's major
financial and cultural capitals.
By European standards,
London is physically spread out and dispersed, without a predominant focal
point. It therefore defies easy general description, as the city's character
is found in its diverse and distinct sections. Many of these sections began
as separate villages, and today they maintain some of their individual
identities. London's image is partly defined by its past, as its major
buildings and institutions represent 2000 years of community history. Its
image is also the product of a new multiethnic mix of people and the
creative impulse of the new popular culture of “Cool Britannia,” a phrase
Britain's promoters conceived in the mid-1990s to portray Britain as modern
and trendy.
