London, England (United Kingdom) — perhaps the most globalised and most frequently visited city on Earth — is a reflection of thousands of years of human history. It is a mixture of hundreds of cultures from around the world jostling together with a unique energy that combines cooperation with competition as well as appreciation with apprehension.
London has long been a city in flux, but the last decade has brought particularly significant changes to its built environment. Historical stone and brick, Modernist concrete, and the latest glass daggers often now fight with one another for control of the city's streets and its skyline. Although locals may grumble about the Underground, and the older subway lines seem to be in a near constant state of repair and improvement, the rail system does an admirable job of tying together a sprawling city and makes it easy to explore. Pack some good walking shoes, too, because London often is best seen on foot.
It is true that London can have miserable weather — and the grey skies and rain can be draining if you find yourself living in London — but the "London fog" often is part of the charm for tourists. The grey skies tend to make you appreciate all six weeks or so of sunshine each year, also.
