Again a veiw from London

ListeniLondon (/ˈlʌndən/)[3] is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom.[4] Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.[5] London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) mediaeval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core.[6] The bulk of this conurbation forms the Greater London administrative area (coterminous with the London region),[7][8][note 1] governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.[9][note 2]
London is a leading global city,[10][11] 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.[12][13][14][15] It is one of the world's leading financial centres[16][17][18] and has the fifth-or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world depending on measurement.[note 3][19][20] London is a world cultural capital.[21][22][23][24] It is the world's most-visited city as measured by international arrivals[25] and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic.[26] London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education institutes in Europe.[27] In 2012, London became the first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.[28]
London has a diverse range of peoples and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken within Greater London.[29] The region had an official population of 8,416,535 in 2013,[2] the largest of any municipality in the European Union,[30] and accounting for 12.5% of the UK population.[31] London's urban area is the second most populous in the EU, after Paris, with 9,787,426 inhabitants according to the 2011 census.[32] The city's metropolitan area is the third most populous in Europe after Moscow and Istanbul, with 13,614,409 inhabitants,[note 4][33] while the Greater London Authority puts the population of London metropolitan region at 21 million.[34] London was the world's most populous city from around 1831 to 1925.[35]
London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich (in which the Royal Observatory, Greenwich marks the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and GMT).[36] Other famous landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and The Shard. London is home to numerous museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, British Library and 40 West End theatres.[37] The London Underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world.[38][39]

Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup bid

The Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup bid is the successful proposal from the government of Qatar to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar, with a population of 2 million people, will be the first Arab state to host the World Cup. Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, son of Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani the then Emir of Qatar, was the chairman of the bid committee. Qatar promoted their hosting of the tournament as representing the Arab World, and has drawn support from across the member states of the Arab League. They also positioned their bid as an opportunity to bridge the gap between the Arab World and the West.
Qatar gave a feel of what the World Cup would be like by holding a friendly match between Brazil and Argentina. Furthermore, people coming from different nations visited Qatar for this match and strengthened the image Qatar would depict of their interest in the World Cup 2022.
President of FIFA Sepp Blatter endorsed the idea of having a World Cup in the Arab World, saying in April 2010, "The Arabic world deserves a World Cup. They have 22 countries and have not had any opportunity to organize the tournament." Blatter also praised Qatar's progress, "When I was first in Qatar there were 400,000 people here and now there are 1.6 million. In terms of infrastructure, when you are able to organise the Asian Games (in 2006) with more than 30 events for men and women, then that is not in question." On 2 December 2010, it was announced that Qatar will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup
