Correction of "London is the capital of the United Kingdom". This is incorrect and misleading, the UK does not have an official Capital city. It is made up of 4 countries which each have their own capital cities. There is no official recognition or statement by any Government of the UK designating London as the capital 86.25.198.144 ( talk) 21:31, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

@ Tub st Hi, this map is not redundand:
Why did you remove that? Hooman Mallahzadeh ( talk) 16:24, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

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)
