London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom. It is made up of the City of London and 32 boroughs, which were created in 1965 and have weaker identities than their constituent districts. Two major factors that shaped the development of London's district and sub-district identities are the ancient parish system and pre-urban settlement patterns. The National Gallery is an art museum located in Trafalgar Square that houses over 2,300 paintings from the 13th to 19th centuries. St. Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament are among London's most famous landmarks.

London is the capital of and largest city in England and the
United Kingdom. It is administered by the City of London and 32 London boroughs. These boroughs are modern, having been created in 1965 and have a weaker sense of identity than their constituent "districts" (considered in speech, "parts of London" or more formally, "areas"). Two major factors have shaped the development of London district and sub- district identities; the Ancient Parish - which was used for both civil and ecclesiastical functions - and the pre-urban settlement pattern. The National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, in Central London. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900.[note 1] The Gallery is an exempt charity and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.[3] Its collection belongs to the government on behalf of the British public, and entry to the main collection is free of charge. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic it attracted only 1,197,143 visitors, a drop of 50 per cent from 2019, but it still ranked eighth on the list of most-visited art museums in the world.[4] Cathedral Church of St Paul the Apostle • The cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognisable sights of London. Its dome, framed by the spires of Wren's City churches, has dominated the skyline for over 300 years. At 365 feet (111 m) high, it was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1963. The dome remains among the highest in the world. St Paul's is the second-largest church
The Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament The neo gothic Palace of Westminster, better known as the Houses of Parliament, and its Clock Tower, commonly called Big Ben, are among London’s most famous landmarks. The Clock Tower’s fame has surpassed that of the Palace itself. It is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free- standing clock tower in the world. The elegant tower is not open to the general public, but the views over it are spectacular, especially at night when the four clock faces are illuminated. The London London Eye Eye is a 135-metre (443 ft.) tall giant Ferris wheel situated on the banks of the River Thames, in the centre of London. When erected in 1999 for the London’s millennium celebrations, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, and since then has become one of the iconic sights of London, visited by over 3.5 million people a year. The wheel carries 32 glass passenger capsules, each one offering 25 visitors great panoramic views over the city. The Electric, a cinema The Electric is Birmingham and sound recording facility in Birmingham, England. It opened in Station Street in 1909, showing its first silent film on 27 December of that year, and is now the oldest working cinema in the country.[1][2] It predates its namesake, the Electric Cinema in Notting Hill, London, by around two months. Originally called the Electric Theatre, the cinema has undergone a number of name changes since its opening,
