London
Big Ben's city
London is the capital and largest city of the United Kingdom, situated on the River Thames in southeastern England.
It serves as a global center for finance, culture, and politics.
London appears in countless expressions: London fog, London bridge.
To say something is not for all the tea in China has a British equivalent: I wouldn't do it for all the money in London.
