Charles Babbage made several plans to completing the computer in London. Babbage was born in London in 1791 and spent most of his life in or near that city, other than attending school (various secondary schools, then Cambridge University) and a short time after his marriage (when he lived in the West Midlands, not far from Wales), so it would have been there.

Babbage lived and worked in London England. He made proposed plans for his 'difference engine' on 14 June 1822 in a paper to the Royal Astronomical Society. The British government initially financed the project, to build the machine but withdrew funding when it became apparent that the machine would cost much more than originally anticipated.

Based on Babbage's original plans, the London Science Museum constructed a working Difference Engine from 1989 to 1991. This works.
