London (/ˈlʌndən/ (About this sound listen) LUN-dən) is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom.[8][9] Standing on the River Thames in the south east of the island of Great Britain, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium.[10] London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, "London" has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire,[11][12][13] which today largely makes up Greater London,[14][15][note 1] a region governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.[16][note 2][17]

London is one of the leading global cities[18][19] in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transportation.[20][21][22] It is the world's largest financial centre[23][24][25][26] and has the fifth or sixth largest metropolitan area GDP in the world.[note 3][27][28] London is often regarded as a world cultural capital.[29][30][31] It is the world's most-visited city as measured by international arrivals[32] and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic.[33] It is the world's leading investment destination,[34][35][36][37] hosting more international retailers[38][39] and ultra high-net-worth individuals[40][41] than any other city. London's universities form the largest concentration of higher education institutes in Europe.[42] In 2012, London became the first city to have hosted the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.[43]

London has a diverse range of people and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken in the region.[44] Its estimated mid-2016 municipal population (corresponding to Greater London) was 8,787,892,[4] the largest of any city in the European Union[45] and accounting for 13.4% of the UK population.[46] London's urban area is the second most populous in the EU, after Paris, with 9,787,426 inhabitants at the 2011 census.[47] The city's metropolitan area is the most populous in the EU with 14,040,163 inhabitants in 2016,[note 4][3] while the Greater London Authority states the population of the city-region (covering a large part of the south east) as 22.7 million.[48][49] London was the world's most populous city from around 1831 to 1925.[50]

London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich (in which the Royal Observatory, Greenwich defines the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and GMT).[51] Other landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square and The Shard. London is home to numerous museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Natural History Museum, Tate Modern, British Library and West End theatres.[52] The London Underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world.

二 十世纪六十年代,一场势不可挡的浪潮席卷了整个欧美大陆,一时间Beatles乐队以他们超凡脱俗的风格与观点俘虏了成千上万的年轻人,Beatles 风格的摇滚乐迅速蔓延他们留长发,穿T恤,训傲不羁的形象使人着迷,他们的音乐思想与表达方式都深深影响了一代人的音乐意识,以至以后的几十年中仍有许多 人的追随。   Beatles乐队始建于1975年英国的利物普,John Lennon(约翰·列侬)和Mc Cartney(保尔·麦卡尼特)由于共同的爱好走到了一起,翌年,George Harrison(乔治·哈里森)也加入到其中。乐队最初风格趋向于爵士民谣,乐队名字几经变动后被定为“甲壳虫”。1959年,Lennon吸收了艺术 学校的同学Stu Sutdiff(斯图·苏迪夫)加入乐队做贝司手,1960年,Beatles乐队赴德国汉堡寻求发展,在那里的夜总会和酒吧中巡回演出,进行了三年艰辛 的演出历程,同时,也由此使他们在舞台表演方面找到了定位。其间Sudiff由于潜心学画离开了乐队,不幸的是他于62年死于脑溢血。次后由Paul接替 了他的位置。   1962年2月,Beatles因与Epstein(艾普斯坦)签约,使EMI公司制作人George Mardin(乔治·马丁)同意为他们出一盘音带,也是由于他,Beatles又有了一个新鼓手Ring Starr(英格·斯达),同年十月,Beatles第一张单曲《Please Please Me》和《From To You》
