London is a multicultural city with a population more than 7 million. People are settled here from different parts of the world and made it a Global City. There are African, Greek, Irish, Asian, Japanese, Caribbean, Turkish, polish, Middle Eastern, and Jewish cultures which have made an amazing contribution to London. London is home to resident communities from over 90 countries.
Every part of London has something different to offer. It is the diversity of culture which makes London an amazing city. The city is known for its internal transport hub and extremely popular tourist destination because of its multicultural character.

African population is growing at an amazing rate in London, which has brought infinite variety of cultural influences and has made their mark on London. The cities grandiose architectural projects owe more to classical Greece. British and Asian especially Indian cultures have intermingled so much that it is indistinguishable.
