Why is London two cities?
Originally, there were two adjoining settlements in the London area. The City of London and the City of Westminster. They were classified as cities as opposed to towns because they each had a cathedral. As the population of the area increased, both of them were absorbed into what has now become Greater London with a total population of around 8 million.
