subject: A world in one city - London [print this page]

You can still find the imprint of the glory of British Empire which was also called Empire on

which the sun never sets' in London nowadays. British people still keep their pride from the old

times and already start to launch innovations to welcome the new times.

You can say that London is a city of too much lures. That's true. As long as you have

enough money in your pocket, you can get whatever you want in London. Luxury brands are

displayed in Harrods which is the most expensive shopping mall in the UK to wait for you.

You can also say this is a city of too many world top universities. That's true. London is home to

London Business School which is the world's best business school, Imperial College, London

School of Economics and Political Science, UCL, King's college and so forth. People consider it

as a honor if you can study in one of them.

You can not deny that this is a city of too many attractions either: Bucking Palace where the

Queen lives; Tower Bridge which is a bridge over Thames, an iconic symbol of London; the Big

Ben which is a bell of the clock with a 151 years history; London Eye which is the tallest Ferris

wheel in Europe, and the most visited paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom.

There is simply too much to say about this bewildering city that has multi-identities. What's

more exciting is that the city is going to hold its third Olympic Games in 2012. What's more

magic is that 2012 is considered to be the end of the world at least in Movie directed by

Roland Emmerich. If at that time the world still exists, why not come to London to celebrate this

mega0sport event in human history?

Transportation in London

As we all know, for a capital city, traffic congestion seems too common to be mentioned.

The situation in London is not that satisfactory as well which may be the reason why the

mayor of the city advocates people to take a bicycle which is called a two-wheel revolution.

There are eight airports in London if you just tell it from their names, but in fact only five of them

are mostly used.

The largest and busiest airport in London is Heathrow which serving around 68 million

passengers each year and located 22 km away from central London.

Gatwick Airport is London's second busiest airport after Heathrow throughout the UK. It is

located 45.7 km south of Central London, 5 km north of the centre of Crawley, West Sussex.

There is no big difference between Gatwick and Heathrow.
