倫敦是英格蘭和英國的首都、第一大城及第一大港，也是歐洲最大的都會區之一，自兩千多年前羅馬人成立這座都市起，倫敦一直在世界上具有極大的影響力。
然而，最晚自十九世紀起，“倫敦”這個名稱同時也代表圍繞著倫敦市開發的周圍地區。這些衛星城市構成了倫敦的都會區和大倫敦區。
倫敦是世界四大世界級城市之一，與美國紐約、法國巴黎和日本東京並列 。倫敦未獲英國城市地位，正式來說算不上是城市，但因為自18世紀起她一直是世界上最重要的政治、經濟、文化、藝術和娛樂中心之一，一般人都誤以為她是一座城市。
從1801年到20世紀初，作為世界性帝國——大英帝國的首都，倫敦因在其於科技發明等領域上的卓越成就，而成為全世界最大的都市。2016年3月，《2016年財富報告》釋出，倫敦在全球房價最貴的城市中排名第三。
2018年9月，2018世界旅遊城市發展排行榜綜合排行公佈，倫敦位列第1名。
