London - the United Kingdom's capital - is one of the world's largest cities. 'The Square Mile' included 109 parishes. As many as 1 out of 7 Englishmen are believed to have spent some part of their lives in the metropolis between the 1500s and 1800s. Today, Greater London has expanded into Middlesex, Surrey, Kent, and Essex.
