On Thursday I got a postcard from the United Kingdom.
The card shows various views of London. London is the capital of England and of the United Kingdom. It is also the biggest city of the European Union and was until 1925 the biggest city in the World. It is an important financial centre and a global city. London hosted the Summer Olympic Games in 1908, 1948 and 2012. In 1863 the World's first underground railway opened in London. The Tower of London, the Kew Gardens, the Palace of Westminster, the Westminster Abbey, the St Margaret's Church and Greenwich are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The card was sent from the Postcrossing Meet-up in London.
Stamp:
