London Business
It is said that there are more Japanese banks in London than there are in Tokyo and more American ones than in New York. Whether that statement is factual or not, it still points to the role that London plays in the world's economy. London was once the capital of the civilized world and the broker of almost all of the world's commerce. It still remains a major player in the world of commerce and industry.
Among the venerable castles and timeless traditions of the British Empire, London still remains a cutting edge business city. Well-known British firms like Lloyds of London with its state of the art skyscraper, stand alongside international firms who maintain offices in London - many of whom handle all of their European affairs from here.
London's Heathrow Airport serves the international community well with regular arrivals and departures connecting the city with all points around the world. London serves as a convenient gateway between Europe and the Americas, not only geographically, but through the strong political and economic ties between Great Britain and the United States. As a result, it is an ideal destination for businesses looking for international convention sites, or a conference room for a multinational negotiation.
