London has a h istory dating back t o Roman Times when it was name d Londinum. From then it developed as a port around the navigable River Thames and eventually became the seat of political power and government. It has been suggested that London is the most important world city. This is due to a number of factors: - E

conomically, London is a global financial centre with a growing reputation as a technological centre. -

The city attracts a large diversity of people, from business leaders to intellectuals and artists. The city is a major centre for art and its museums and galleries are amongst the most visited in the world. -

London is one of the most visited in the world due to a combination of history, heritage, art and culture. Adapted from A-Level Human Geography, Hodder Education, 2016. Doc.2 London's ranking The Global Power City Index (GPCI) evaluates and r anks the maj or cities of the world according to their "magnetism," or their comprehensive power to attract people, capital, and enterprises from around the world. It does so through measuring 6 functions - Economy, Research and Development, Cultural Interaction, Livability, Environment, and Accessibility - providing a multidimensional ranking GPCI report 2017 Although London maintained its #1 position for the 8th consecutive year, results show that the city's comprehensive power has fallen. While its score continued to rise following the 2016 EU membership referendum, this year its score in Economy's World's Top 500 Companies fell, perhaps showing the effects of turmoil surrounding Brexit negotiations. However, the city holds a top 5 position in 12 of the 16 Cultural Interaction indicators, still displaying its superior strength. Global Power City Index summary, 2019.
