London is the

England and the
United Kingdom,
and the most
populous munici-
pality in the

European Union.
An important settlement for two
millennia, London's history goes
back to its founding by the Ro-
mans. Since its foundation, Lon-
don has been part of many move-
ments and phenomena throughout
history, including the English
Renaissance, the Industrial Revo-
lution, and the Gothic Revival.
The city's core, the ancient City of
London, still retains its limited
medieval boundaries; but since at
least the 19th century, the name
"London" has also referred to the
Church.
London's population draws from a
wide range of peoples, cultures,
and religions, and over 300 lan-
guages are spoken within the city.
As of July 2007, it had an official
population of 7,556,900 within the
