London, which is a primetime city, has a fascinating geographical location. London city on its own is divided into Greater London and Metropolitan region. The former occupies 1572 kilometer square and the latter occupies more than 8328 kilometer square. The city only comprises of 0.65 of total land area of Great Britain. It is also the chief city of the Commonwealth of Nations. On an average scale, the population density would be 12,331 persons per square mile. The city has a sprouting population of more than 7,556,900. Being a historic city and popular with the world, London has bred multi cultural populace.
The geographical highlight of the city however is the Thames River This large water body exists from the east end of the city to the south west part of it. The river has many tributaries but due to its dimension now, the major parts of the tributaries are underground. Thames being a tidal river makes the London city highly susceptible floods. This is a major disadvantage from a geographical point of view, as more than often the city gets affected due to the floods. London mostly is circular in shape, and amidst everything it inhabits couple of hills adding to the beauty of the city. This geographical feature is an advantage in terms of beautifying the city.
London has got moderate climate temperatures in all seasons. The summers dont go more than 24 degrees and average winter temperature lies just below 5 degrees. London is hardly an agricultural city and as Tara says, London has a very minute contribution to the food supply of the country but the range of activities and foods grown is much broader (2). Majority of this farming occurs in the Greater London section. Because of the limited land of the city, horticulture is mainly streamed, and little amount of organic farming is done.
London city uses Thames River as perfect compost provider required for the limited farming. Because of the geographical location, London is more of a trading and finance city than agriculture
