capital e maior cidade da Inglaterra e do Reino Unido
“London goes beyond any boundary or convention. It contains every wish or word ever spoken, every action or gesture ever made, every harsh or noble statement ever expressed. It is illimitable. It is Infinite London.”
“London is a splendid place to live in for those who can get out of it.”
“London was nothing like Tokyo, where the past, all that remained of it, was nurtured with a nervous care…Here it seemed the very fabric of things, as if the city were a single growth of stone and brick, uncounted strata of message and meaning, age upon age, generated over the centuries to the dictates of some now-all-but-unreadable DNA of commerce and empire.”
“You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life ; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
“You've got the temperament of a scholar, and you live on your own and write books. You don't have anything to do with civilization. You've been in London a few days and you can't wait to get back home. But how about the people who can't write books -- people there's no outlet for in this civilization? What about your new men who don't know what to do?”
“He was born within the sound of Bow-bell.”

London é a capital e a maior cidade da Inglaterra e do Reino Unido, com uma população de 9.14 milhões de pessoas em 2025. Sua área metropolitana mais ampla é a maior da Europa Ocidental, com uma população de 15.4 milhões. London fica no Rio Tâmisa no sudeste da Inglaterra, na cabeceira de um estuário de maré de 50 milhas (80 km) até o Mar do Norte, e tem sido um assentamento importante por quase 2.000 anos. Seu núcleo antigo e centro financeiro, a City of London, foi fundada pelos romanos como Londinium e manteve seus limites medievais. A City of Westminster, a oeste da City of London, tem sido o local do governo nacional e do parlamento por séculos. London cresceu rapidamente no século XIX, tornando-se a maior cidade do mundo na época. Desde o século XIX o nome "London" tem se referido à metrópole ao redor da City of London, historicamente dividida entre os condados de Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent e Hertfordshire. Desde 1965 ela tem compreendido em grande parte a área administrativa de Greater London, governada por 33 autoridades locais e a Greater London Authority.
