More About London

London is of course the capital of England and lies on the River Thames in southeast England on the island of Great Britain. The current administrative area of the districts was created on 1 April 1965 with the creation of Greater London (Greater London). In the administrative area are 7.8 million people in Greater London as of 2010, of which 2.9 million are in the 13 boroughs of inner London. London is the most populous municipality in the European Union. The London postal area had 8,278,251 inhabitants in 2001. In the Greater Metropolitan London Area in 2001, there lived about 14 million people.

London is one of the most important cultural, financial and trade centers of the world. In the city there are numerous universities, colleges, theaters and museums. The metropolitan area of Greater London, which is divided into Inner and Outer London, is divided into 33 districts ("London boroughs"), including the City of London and the City of Westminster.

London extends approximately 44.3 miles along the navigable river Thames and is located 15 meters above average sea level. London arose from a settlement on the northern shore, the City of London today. London Bridge was until 1739 the only bridge across the river.

For this reason, there the larger part of the city is north of the river. With the construction of other bridges in the 18th Century and the construction of railways in the 19th Century, the city began to expand in all directions. The landscape is flat to slightly wavy, which favored the unrestrained growth.

The Thames was in ancient times much wider and shallower than today. Today it is almost entirely limited by dams and most tributaries flow underground. The tides of the North Sea make themselves more noticeable in London, the city is therefore at risk from flooding and storm surges. At Woolwich - located east of Greenwich - the Thames Barrier was built in the 1970s to reduce that risk.

The geographical coordinates of the center in the vicinity of Trafalgar Square are 51 ° 30 'north latitude and 0 ° 8' west longitude. The Greenwich meridian was set by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, and it is the starting point of longitude, and thus the time zones.

London, was the most favored part of the island of Britain, which differs in many respects from the other parts of the country. The geological structure is determined by the mesozone sediments that gave rise to a generously structured cuesta landscape. Their heights stand nowhere so high that the entire area enjoys the climatic advantages of the Southeast. Because the rainfall is low, and despite the greater cold in winter, with the the warm summers the local crops are good, especially since most of the rocks and the overlying glacial deposits, produce fertile soils much better than in the mountainous regions.
