London is the capital of England and is home to many local and international corporations.

Much of London's finance industry is located at the "Square Mile" the long-standing business hub of London. The other major financial district is Canary Wharf, which is about 4Km east of the City just before the O2 Arena in Greenwich and slightly north of the Isle of Dogs.

Both these financial districts have seen massive growth, and due to property planning restrictions, Canary Wharf is now the best choice for most new firms. It has been estimated that financial services employs about 315,200 people within the City.

London also thrives as a centre for insurance, foreign exchange and bond trading. The city has many trading facilities and hubs dealing in foreign exchange, futures, global insurance and bonds. The Bank for International Settlements estimates that London generates £88 Billion (46%) of daily global revenue in the interest-rate derivative market.

Many social networking clubs were created here including The Luxe Club (Created by Salima Manji), The Golden Network (Now moved to New York) and many more.

Many movies have been set in London, including A Clockwork Orange, Love Actually, Notting Hill, Fast and Furious 6, Spooks and Bend It Like Beckham.

Because of the noise and smoke many people have moved to places outside London like Kent a well-known London bolt-hole because of its direct rail and road links.
