London, a noisy, vibrant and multicultural city, is one of the largest cities in the world with a population of 8 million people. It is a leading global city of culture, fashion, finance, politics and trade and remains one of the most visited city by international tourists in the world. As the commercial and cultural capital of Lancashire, Manchester is a celebrated center for the arts, media, and higher education. Think of Liverpool and you immediately think of The Beatles, Liverpool Football Club, and their famous Anfield stadium (one of the country's largest), and, of course, that unique Scouse accent. These days, Liverpool is an important trading metropolis, university town, and financial center, as well as a key city for the Catholic and Anglican churches, both of which have bishops here.
