The soul of the city
From the beginning of the Roman period through its explosive growth in the 19th century, London was the largest city in the world. This great metropolis continues to grow through the 20th century, reaching a population of 7.5 million in Greater London. A vital part of the success of London's transport system was that it developed along with the capital in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is indeed the soul of this great city. Today it is not the world's largest urban center, but remains one of the most popular, diverse and cosmopolitan cities on earth.
