Chelsfield plc are building a new shopping centre, bounded by the A3220 (was the M41 or the West Cross Route), the Westway (also known as the A40 or A40M) and Wood Lane. This centre will be branded "whitecity" (a registered trade mark). As a result, a new station will be built on the Hammersmith and City Line at the Wood Lane overbridge, between Shepherd's Bush and Latimer Road stations. The station will be positioned east of Wood Lane and north of the line, to reduce the walking distance for those connecting with the Central Line. There will also be a station on the West London Extension line, which lies to the east of the site and runs between Clapham Junction and Willesden Junction, sited between Kensington Olympia and Willesden Junction.
The City is the old city of London and is the modern city’s commercial center; it is also referred to as the “Square Mile” because of its area.
The 12 inner boroughs that surround the City are Westminster, Camden, Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Greenwich, Lewisham, Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea.
During the Victorian era, London acquired tremendous prestige as the capital of the British Empire and as a cultural and intellectual center.
London is the capital city of the United Kingdom and of England.
London's two Anglican bishops are the Bishop of London, whose see is London north of the Thames, and whose throne is in London's grandest church, the baroque St Paul's Cathedral (designed by Sir Christopher Wren), and the Bishop of Southwark, who tends to Anglicans south of the river.
London was one of the venues for the World Cup in 1966, and the European Football Championship in 1996, and hosted the final of both tournaments.
