London is the most populous city in the European Union, and has for centuries maintained its status as one of the world's centres of trade, commerce and culture. The history of settlement in the immediate London area stretches back to early Roman settlements, followed by Anglo-Saxon and Viking settlements, and eventually coalescing into what is now the seat of the UK's national government. Even after the Great Plague taking a major toll on the city, immediately followed by the Great Fire of 1666 which destroyed much of the city, London rebuilt and maintained it's position as a leading world city.

London has, like other major cities such as Paris and Rome, established itself as a cultural leader throughout history. Travelers from all over the the world came to London to do business or deal with government matters, and brought their cultures and histories with them. London's size and diversity has been an inspiration to writers, performers and other artists, and London's many museums are testimony to its unique position as a cultural centre. The growing population also brought about other innovations, such as the world's first underground rail network, the famous London Underground. The city's long history, and such events as the Great Fire and the Blitz of WWII, have resulted in a wide variety of architectural styles throughout the city.

London boasts an unbeatable array of notable attractions, such as the Tower of London and Big Ben (perhaps the most famous clock in human history). Tours are available for various interests, from bus tours covering all the major landmarks to walking tours catering to the most specialized of subjects.
