An influential American magazine has named London the global capital of the 21st century. The new issue of New York magazine has paid homage to London, claiming the financial, cultural and culinary benefits now tower over those of its home city. I have been to London now about 50 times and this great city never ceases to amaze me.London is a fantastic place to visit and has something for everyone.To explore London properly you will need about a month because it is so big.It covers an area of approx 700 sq miles (1700 sq kms) Its hard to pin down exactly what makes London so magical; it may be that constant jostle for balance that is unlike any in the world. Centuries-old landmarks like the Tower of London and Big Ben may grace scores of postcards, but those two chestnuts belie the vitality that causes so many stunning skyscrapers to go up every year. London is formed by two ancient cities - City of London and City of Westminster,both cities forming the region of Greater London. In Saxon times, it was known as Lundenwic and during the kingdom of Alfred the Great, its name was changed to Lundenburg. Contrary to what many people believe, Big Ben in London is not the name of the clock or the tower, but a 13-ton bell inside the clock. The tower is known as St. Stephens Tower. The Great Fire of London in 1666 created widespread devastation, causing major reconstruction work all across the city, which took over 10 years to rebuild. It has the oldest biggest and deepest Undergound system in the World. 274 stations and covers an area of approx 1000 square miles (2500 sq km) The first trains ran from Paddington station and Farrington stationvia Kings Cross on the 10th January 1863. London has five international airports Heathrow,Gatwick,Luton,Stansted and City plus three baby airports Southend, Biggin Hill and Ashford/Lydd London has nine major train stations Waterloo,Victoria,Paddington,Euston,St Pancras,Fenchurch Street.Liverpool Street, Charing Cross and King Cross.
