伦敦这一名称在2世纪即已存在，在公元约121年记载为伦蒂尼恩（Londinium），证明其来源有罗马-不列颠背景。蒙茅斯的杰弗里在其作品《不列颠诸王纪》中最先试图阐释这一名称，但这一解释如今已被否定。他称该名称来源于一位“勒德王”（King Lud），此人据传占领了这一城市，并将其命名为“凯尔勒德”（Kaerlud）。
自1898年起，人们普遍认为该名称来源于凯尔特人，意为“名为伦蒂诺斯（Londinos）者所有之地”；但这一解释此后亦被推翻。理查德·科特斯于1998年提出该名称来源于前凯尔特古欧洲语言名称“(p)lowonida”，意为“河流过宽无法涉足”，指代流经伦敦的泰晤士河的一部分。
由此这一定居点获得其凯尔特名称“Lowonidonjon”，但距离“伦敦”仍有一定差距。其最大的问题在于拉丁名称“Londinium”和现代威尔士语“Llundain”之间的不同；后者照理应为“(h)lōndinion”（非“londīnion”），来源于先前的“loundiniom”。
1889年之前，“伦敦”一名仅为官方用于称呼伦敦城，但此后亦用于称呼伦敦郡及今日的大伦敦。

London is a cosmopolitan mixture of the Third and First worlds, of chauffeurs and beggars, of the establishment, the avowedly working class and the avant-garde. Unlike comparable European cities, much of London looks unplanned and grubby, but that is part of its appeal. Visiting London is like being let loose on a giant-sized Monopoly board clogged with traffic. Even though you probably won't know where the hell you are, at least the names will look reassuringly familiar. The city is so enormous, visitors will need to make maximum use of the underground train system: unfortunately, this dislocates the city's geography and makes it hard to get your bearings.
London is a year-round tourist center, with few of its attractions closing or significantly reducing their opening hours in winter. Your best chance of good weather is, of course, at the height of summer in July and August, but there's certainly no guarantee of sun even in those months and that is when you can expect the biggest crowds and highest prices.
A resting place of the royals, Westminster Abbey, is one of the most visited churches in the Christian world. It's a beautiful building, full of morose tombs and monuments, with an acoustic field that will send shivers down your spine when the choirboys clear their throats. The roll call of the dead and honored is guaranteed to humble the greatest egoist, despite the weighty and ornate memorabilia.
