There are dozens within the general region, but most are too small to be felt.

There have been several over the centuries in areas of England, and large quakes (over 3.0 on the Richter scale) about once every 50 to 100 years. The last two with epicenters in London were a month apart, on February 8 and March 8, 1750.

The latest actual tremors felt in London were from the Dudley quake of September 22, 2002 and the Lincolnshire quake of February 27, 2008.
