The modern City of London – the city's financial centre – contains this original settlement, and still retains its medieval boundaries.
The Greater London area is home to more than 9.5 million people, making it the third most-populated city in Europe, and is a truly global city with over 300 languages spoken and over a third of Londoners foreign born – an immigrant population second only to New York City. As the biggest urban economy on the continent, it's also home to the most millionaires in any city in the world.
Thanks to its status as a global city, with incredible cultural and scientific influence, it's one of the most visited cities on the planet: no surprise, then, that it boasts the most five-star hotels, too.
The British Museum, Natural History Museum and British Library are just three of hundreds of museums in London, and a trip to the city wouldn't be complete without a visit to Pall Mall and Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the King.
We took GEN2 to the iconic Tower Bridge in Season 8, too and a full grid of GEN1 cars across Westminster Bridge ahead of Formula E's first race in Battersea Park - London's first motor race in some 43 years.
