London.....

1. The world in one city
London has always been one of the world's great cosmopolitan cities.

Throughout history, people have come from every continent and corner of the globe.
To live, to visit, to mix. The blend doesn't just reflect modern London. It is modern London.

Today the city brings together more than 50 ethnic communities of 10,000 or more people.
More than 70 different national cuisines are available. And a staggering 300 different languages are spoken.


2. A sporting capital

London loves sport. Playing it. Watching it. Supporting it.
There are few cities where sport is so much a part of the culture, spirit and lifestyle.


3. A cultural capital

No city in the world can boast more vibrant, diverse and influential culture than London.
We're as proud of our artistic heritage as we are of our sporting heritage,
and London 2012 will celebrate the spirit they share.
