  1. its about london
    London i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, and the largest city, urban zone and metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the European Union by most measures.[note 1] Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.[4] London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core.[5] The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region[6] and the Greater London administrative area,[7][note 2] governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.[8]
    London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence.[9] It is one of the world's leading financial centres [10][11][12] and has the fifth- or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world depending on measurement.[note 3][13][14] London has been described as a world cultural capital.[15][16][17][18] It is the world's most-visited city as measured by international arrivals[19] and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic.[20] London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education in Europe.[21] In 2012, London became the first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.[22]
    London has a diverse range of peoples and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken within its boundaries.[23] The 2011 census revealed that around three quarters of Londoners were Britons and 60% of inhabitants were white,[24] and that 45% of residents were white Britons, making them a minority in the city for the first time.[25] London had an official population of 8,174,100, making it the most populous municipality in the European Union,[26][27] and accounting for 12.5% of the UK population.[28] The Greater London Urban Area is the second-largest in the EU with a population of 8,278,251,[29] while the London metropolitan area is the largest in the EU with an estimated total population of 15,010,295.[2] London had the largest population of any city in the world from around 1831 to 1925.[30]
    London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich (in which the Royal Observatory marks the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and GMT).[31] Other famous landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and The Shard. London is home to numerous museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, British Library and 40 West End theatres.[32] The London Underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world.[33][34]

  5. When Gustave Eiffel was commissioned to build his tower in
    Paris, no one, least of all, he thought it would still be standing
    a century later. The tower had been intended as the crowning
    glory of the 1889 Paris Exhibition, but the Parisians became so
    attached to it that no one had the heart to take it down. So
    there it stayed and soon it became the city's most famous
    landmark.

  8. new york : )

    the United States. New York is the 27th-most extensive, the 3rd-most populous, and the 7th-most densely populated of the 50 United States. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south, and by Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border with Rhode Island east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Ontario to the west and north, and Quebec to the north. The state of New York is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City.
    New York City, with a Census-estimated population of over 8.3 million in 2012,[8][9] is the most populous city in the United States.[10][11] Alone, it makes up over 40 percent of the population of New York state. It is known for its status as a center for finance and culture and for its status as the largest gateway for immigration to the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, New York City is also a destination of choice for many foreign visitors. Both the state and city were named for the 17th century Duke of York, James Stuart, future James II and VII of England and Scotland.
    New York was inhabited by various tribes of Algonquian and Iroquoian speaking Native Americans at the time Dutch settlers moved into the region in the early 17th century. In 1609, the region was first claimed by Henry Hudson for the Dutch. Fort Nassau was built near the site of the present-day capital of Albany in 1614. The Dutch soon also settled New Amsterdam and parts of the Hudson River Valley, establishing the colony of New Netherland. The British took over the colony by annexation in 1664.
    The borders of the British colony, the Province of New York, were roughly similar to those of the present-day state. About one third of all the battles of the Revolutionary War took place in New York. The state constitution was enacted in 1777. New York became the 11th state to ratify the United States Constitution, on July 26, 1788.

It is bordered by Jordan and Iraq on the north and northeast, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates on the east, Oman on the southeast, and Yemen on the south. It is also connected to Bahrain by the King Fahd Causeway. The Persian Gulf lies to the northeast and the Red Sea to its west.

    The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded by Abdul-Aziz bin Saud in 1932, although the conquests which eventually led to the creation of the Kingdom began in 1902 when he captured Riyadh, the ancestral home of his family, the Al Saud. Saudi Arabia's government takes the form of an Islamic absolute monarchy. Human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have repeatedly expressed concern about the state of human rights in Saudi Arabia. The kingdom is sometimes called "The Land of the Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Mecca and Medina, the two holiest places in Islam.‏
