Does ANYONE actually know what they're talking about here? "London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom, with a population of around 8.8 million" ??????? What a load of tripe. No wonder the English get laughed at by the rest of The World. They talk shite. Can anybody explain, what exactly IS the 'capital' of England? Is it London (the city of that name) or is it Greater London (the metropolitan county of that name). I've never read so much drivel as I read on Wikipedia. No, wait, yes I have. "MY LONDON" is saying London (City) is bigger than New York (City) which, again, is rubbish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.249.162 ( talk) 00:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

The wiki page for New York City states in its overview that it is sometimes referred to as the capital of the world; a similar edit is also warranted for London which has also been referred to as such many times

There is no mention in the article about Brutus of Troy. Did I miss a talk, or is that a mistake? Brutus supposedly was in London approximately 1,100 BC, and his descendants settled Iron Age Britain. New Troy was settled on the River Thames. Cltjames ( talk) 17:43, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
I would like to suggest changing the Wikimedia map on the page as it is missing the City of London. "London" as defined by the London Government Act is a city consisting of both Greater London and the City of London. Felleno ( talk) 12:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
I think the introduction paragraph should reference London as a Muslim city Mrred81 ( talk) 05:55, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
I suggest replacing the current File:St Paul dome.jpeg with either File:St Paul's Cathedral Dome from One New Change - Vertical Crop.jpg or File:St Paul's Cathedral Dome from One New Change - Square Crop.jpg, as they have both a significantly higher resolution, less noise, and more realistic colours. – Tobias ( talk) 11:55, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
