RUSH HOUR - Victoria Station, London
Victoria station, also known as London Victoria, is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in Victoria, in the City of Westminster, managed by Network Rail.[4] Named after the nearby Victoria Street (not the Queen[5]), the main line station is a terminus of the Brighton main line to Gatwick Airport and Brighton and the Chatham main line to Ramsgate and Dover via Chatham. From the main lines, trains can connect to the Catford Loop Line, Dartford Loop Line, and the Oxted line to East Grinstead and Uckfield. Southern operates most commuter and regional services to south London, Sussex and parts of east Surrey, while Southeastern operates trains to south east London and Kent. Gatwick Express trains run direct to Gatwick. The Underground station is on the Circle and District lines between Sloane Square and St. James's Park, and the Victoria line between Pimlico and Green Park. The area around the station is an important interchange for other forms of transport: a local bus station is in the forecourt and Victoria Coach Station is nearby.
Victoria was built to serve both the Brighton and Chatham main lines, and has always had a split feel of being two separate stations. The Brighton station opened in 1860 with the Chatham station following two years later. It replaced a temporary terminus at Pimlico and construction involved building the Grosvenor Bridge over the River Thames. It became immediately popular as a London terminus, causing delays and requiring upgrades and rebuilding. It was well known for luxury Pullman train services and continental boat train trips and became a focal point for soldiers during World War I.
lONDON:
London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom.[3][4] Standing on the River Thames in the south east of the island of Great Britain, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium.[5] London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, London has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire,[6][7][8] which today largely makes up Greater London,[9][10][note 1] governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.[11][note 2][12]
As a Nylonkong metropolis, London is a leading global city,[13][14] in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism, and transport.[15][16][17] It is one of the world's leading financial centres[18][19][20] and has the fifth- or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world.[note 3][21][22] London is a world cultural capital.[23][24][25] It is the world's most-visited city as measured by international arrivals[26] and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic.[27] London is the world's leading investment destination,[28][29][30] hosting more international retailers[31][32] and ultra high-net-worth individuals[33][34] than any other city. London's universities form the largest concentration of higher education institutes in Europe,[35] and a 2014 report placed it first in the world university rankings. According to the report London also ranks first in the world in software, multimedia development and design, and shares first position in technology readiness.[36] In 2012, London became the only city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.[37]
London has a diverse range of people and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken in the region.[38] Its estimated mid-2015 municipal population (corresponding to Greater London) was 8,673,713,[2] the largest of any city in the European Union,[39] and accounting for 12.5 per cent of the UK population.[40] London's urban area is the second most populous in the EU, after Paris, with 9,787,426 inhabitants at the 2011 census.[41] The city's metropolitan area is one of the most populous in Europe with 13,879,757 inhabitants,[note 4][42] while the Greater London Authority states the population of the city-region (covering a large part of the south east) as 22.7 million.[43] London was the world's most populous city from around 1831 to 1925.[44]....
