London is the capital of the [[United Kingdom]]. It was founded by the [[Romans]], and became the capital of [[England]] (taking over from [[Winchester]]) during the reign of [[William II]]. Although London is frequently depicted in the media as a quaint and historic city perpetually shrouded in fog, the reality is that London is a modern city at the cutting edge of developments in architecture, transport, commerce, industry and entertainment, and fog is a rare occurrence.
Notable landmarks include the [[Houses of Parliament]], The [[London Eye]] and [[Westminster Abbey]].
