The Greater London region

Greater London is an administrative district. It covers London, England. About 7.5 million people live there.

It is also one of the regions of England used by the Government for various purposes, including administration and statistics.

London is a conurbation, a city made from the merging of lots of smaller villages, towns and cities into a larger one. London is technically only the City of London, one of London's 33 administrative districts. In order to avoid confusion, Greater London is often used to distinguish the whole modern urban area centred on the City of London from the City of London itself. When most people say London, they are referring to Greater London.
