London

There is no country directly on the other side of the world to England. That would place you in the ocean, somewhat southeast of New Zealand. The northern island of New Zealand is directly opposite of Spain. Australia is directly opposite the north Atlantic, and does not overlap with any land of significant size.

London is a leading financial hub of world and home to various nationalities from around the world. London's physical features include river dividing the whole city into two, tall buildings, and numerous bridges.

Around 30 million people a year visit London. The number of foreign visitors was 15.2 million in 2006 (the majority being other Europeans). Although the number of British visitors to London is impossible to calculate, it is thought that around 15 million non-London Brits spend at least one night in London a year.

There's no exact date. London had been the capital already in the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066). The first two Norman kings, William I and II, found Winchester more convenient as it's only about 14 miles from Southampton, from where one can sail to Normandy. In the reign of the third Norman king, Henry I (reigned 1100-1135) London became the capital again.

The fire started in Pudding lane at the house of Thomjas Farynbor who was the King's baker. In the case of the London fire, it stopped when it reached the stone walls surrounding the city and with nothing left to burn it died out.

The Great Plague of London, which occurred in 1665 - 1666, was another outbreak of the bubonic plague that took the lives of about 20% of the population of London. Historians now link the London fire as a remedy for the plague. It worked very effective since the few of the rats that survived had the hair burned and the fleas dead.

If your flight is direct, it will probably take up to 2.5 hours.

If you're unlucky enough to fly out of season or in your own arrangement, you'll probably have to change planes. The flight will still take about 2.5 hours, but the travel itself will take a tad bit longer, what with all the airport procedures, etc. ;)

Because of a desire to reshape that portion of the city in a more hygiene way, incorporate fire safety, make wharves more accessible from the Thames River, create wider streets, they also wanted no houses to obstruct the fine view of the Thames. The how part of the reconstruction is most amazing.

• People from London are called londoners.
• Those from the East end of London are called eastenders.
• Some eastenders are called cockneys. To qualify as a real cockney you must have been born "within the sound of bow bells". These bells are in the parish church of Bow.

Yes, you should be fine. However, there are things you should look out for.

Don't go into certain neighbourhoods at night, and some you might want to avoid altogether, such as Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Croydon. Use common sense, for example if five young guys in matching bandannas come up to you and ask you for your phone, for Christ's sake just give it to them.

Presuming you're American, you might want to be careful about what you say. I'm not saying all Americans are like this, but asking a Londoner slowly if they speak English will end very badly, and saying thing's such as "America saved you in the war" is also inadvisable. London was heavily bombed in the war before America joined and this will be seen as arrogant and ignorant. Also, respect the different ethnicity's in London, there are large black and Asian populations in many areas and London is very proud of it's diversity. Saying anything people might consider to be racially prejudiced against ANYONE will most likely get you shouted at or even beaten up, regardless of who you say it to.

Apart from this, you will be fine to live in London if you use your common sense, and good luck!
