It therefore defies easy general description, as the city's character is found in its diverse and distinct sections. Many of these sections began as separate villages, and today they maintain some of their individual identities. London's image is partly defined by its past, as its major buildings and institutions represent 2000 years of community history. London's climate is generally mild and damp, although it can be erratic. However, the weather is generally cloudy, and some rain is liable to fall on half the days of the year.
Fog frequently develops in winter.
However, since the use of coal has significantly declined, these have largely disappeared. All rights reserved.
