LONDON, ENGLAND
is where we set this scene
Welcome to the simple life;;
London, which is located in England, is the capital and largest urban area of the United Kingdom. At its core, the ancient City of London, to which the name historically belongs, still retains its limited medieval boundaries; but since at least the 19th century the name "London" has also referred to the whole metropolis which has developed around it. Today the bulk of this conurbation forms the London region of England and the Greater London administrative area, with its own elected mayor and assembly.
An important settlement for two millennia, London's history goes back to its founding by the Romans. Since its settlement, London has been the center of many important movements and phenomena throughout history such as the English Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Gothic Revival. In light of this, the city has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world which has increased over the years due to the city's economic growth. London boasts four World Heritage Sites; these are Palace of Westminster, the Tower of London, the historic settlement of Greenwich, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. It is one of the world's leading business, financial, and cultural centers, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts all contribute to its status as a major global city.
London has an official population of 7,512,400, within the boundaries of Greater London and is the most populous municipality in the European Union. The urban area of London extends beyond the limits of Greater London and has a population of 8,278,251. The metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of between 12 and 14 million. London's diverse population draws from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, and over 300 different languages are spoken within the city. It is an international transport hub, with five major international airports serving the area and a large port. It serves as the largest aviation hub in the world, and the multi-terminal Heathrow Airport carries more international passengers than any other airport in the world.
So this is the area we will now call home, people many just see the facts and listen to the papers of the television, to see what life is like in good old London, but even though there are more than right million in Greater London, it still does not make them seem like anything important, live in their shoes and find out what it is like to be a number in the world. Climb the social wall or crumble at pressure, meet the people, hate the people and move on. London is a moving city, people come, they live and they leave, only a few stay ... will you be one of those people that stay.
