| City Life | More than 950 million people call London home. Around 37% of people currently living in the capital were born outside the UK, making it home to a staggering number of diverse nationalities and ethnicities, with some estimates putting the number of different languages spoken at more than 300 – more than any other metropolis. This makes London one of the world’s cultural capitals. Some of the most visited London attractions include the Tate Modern in Southwark, the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, the National Gallery in Westminster and Southbank Centre. London ranks second in the world for the quality of its transport system, outranked only by Singapore but ahead of Stockholm, Hong Kong, Paris and New York. No matter where you are in London, every district is easily accessible via overground trains, airport transfers, buses, trams, the DLR and, of course, the London Underground. With over half of the UK's FTSE companies and over 100 of Europe's largest businesses having their headquarters in central London, the capital is a massive talent hub. |
