London is the capital of England and the United Kingdom - and, some would say, the world. Although the term ‘Greater London’ is used to mean many different things, it generally refers to the parts of the capital which lie outside the City of London. It can be divided into Inner London and Outer London, which is useful for getting a general idea of distance and commute times into Central London. With some of the world’s most famous institutions, people, and landmarks, and a large and diverse population, London has something for everyone. As Samuel Johnson famously said, ‘When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.’
