About London

London is the capital of the United Kingdom and one of the world's leading financial centres, home to the City's banks, insurers and law firms, the seat of Parliament and a huge international airport network. It is also among the most visited cities on earth, known for its museums, theatres, royal landmarks and the River Thames.

London keeps Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) in winter and switches to British Summer Time (UTC+1) in summer. Greenwich, the historic reference point for world time, lies within the city itself. Its position between Asia and the Americas means a morning in London overlaps the end of the Asian working day, while afternoons overlap the start of business in New York.
