Historically, London was a Roman City surrounded by a wall and nicknamed the "Square Mile." Since the 19th century, the name "London" has been taken to refer to the entire metropolis that surrounds the original City of London. Meanwhile, the urban sprawl surrounding central London and encompassing 32 boroughs became known as Greater London. It is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all
contributing to its prominence.
