London is the largest, most populous city in the European Union, with an estimated population on 1 January 2005 of 7,421,328 and a metropolitan area population of 13,945,000.
There are other definitions of "London" for special purposes, such as the London postal district; the area covered by the telephone area code 020; the area accessible by public transport using a Transport for London Travelcard; the area delimited by the M25 orbital motorway; the Metropolitan Police district; and the London commuter belt.

Rotherhithe Tunnel to Limehouse for motor traffic, opened by the Prince of Wales and Richard Atkinson Robinson, Chairman of the LondonCounty Council.
South of the Thames, always a "foreign land" to proper Londoners, sharing the same Southwark shores as Shakespeare's Globe theater, and Shakespeare himself for a time, Rotherhithe was a thin stretch of occupation right on the river front.
Rotherhithe may have been the inspirational home of the American form of church organization: they insisted there on electing their own church leaders.
They may be the same Alfred and Anne Powell Canning who were married in a Church of England marriage in Worcester, Worcs., in 1817 --- that date would fit the Family Tree Chart's construction of their lives.
