fashion and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the major global cities.
London is the most populous city within city limits in the European Union. As of the year 2007, the official population is 7.7 million people. London is an international transport hub with five international airports and a large port. It serves as the largest aviation hub in the world, and its main airport, the multi terminal Heathrow, carries more international passengers than any other airport in the world. It is also the home of Europe's largest underground railrway system when measured by route length.
