London
Greater London is the UK’s only world city with 7.51m inhabitants accounting for almost 15% of England’s population, although by size it is the smallest of the English regions at 1,572 sq km (1.2% of the total land area of England).
London is governed at a strategic tier by the Greater London Authority, consisting of a directly elected executive Mayor for London scrutinised by a 25 member elected Assembly, and at the local tier 32 boroughs and the City of London.
London has a dynamic and successful economy. It is one of the world’s leading centres for international financial and business services and is the headquarter base for many of the world’s leading companies. But London also has some of the most deprived communities in the country – with 26% of London's neighbourhoods within the top 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England and over 30% of its working age population workless.
London has also become one of the most diverse and culturally rich cities in the world. Over 300 languages are spoken and there are at least 50 non-indigenous communities of 10,000 people or more.
