Welcome
to London!
London is the capital of England and the
U.K., and the largest city in the European Union. It is one of the
world's major business, political and cultural centers. London's
population is extremely cosmopolitan, with a diverse range of
nationalities, cultures, and religions who speak over 300 different
languages.
Open space accounts for nearly a third of London: the city has
143 parks and gardens. Walking paths and nature trails can be found
in Hampstead Heath and Mile End Park. South of the River Thames is
Battersea Park, featuring a Japanese Pagoda that was a gift to the
nation. Further out is Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew where there are
four acres of plants from rainforest to desert.
