London never reached that temperature!! Heathrow Airport is one of the busiest airports in the World & tarmac gets very hot! That comment was a climate change fanatic, so BS!! The Thames has hardly ever uses the barrier. This really became a political promotion. However, the historical part was interesting. A shame he didn't mention the first ever tunnel under water - Brunel's tunnel under the Thames!!
@@ethancantwell8549 I live in London!! It never reached 40 degrees. It hit 38 in 2019. We know!! It was the coldest summer this year since 2015. I lived through 1976 when there was a serious drought. Around 30 degrees but no rain for months!!
@@christinawhite6637 Sorry maybe I miss remembered but even so 38 and 40 degrees are very similar. Also climate change doesn't always mean global warming it just means irregular temperatures for example a strangely cool summer.

London is the largest city in the Uk but its not the capital of the UK, the capital of Scotland is Edinburgh, the capital of Wales is Cardiff and the capital of N Ireland is Belfast
What ya chattin? London is the capital of the UK. The other cities you mentioned are capitals of their respective countries yes, but for the UK as a whole, it is London.
Is London really a city? The conurbation known as London contains the City of London (the square mile within Greater London) and the City of Westminster.
Anything over 25 degrees is considered hot in the UK.
Hiya ,that temperature of 40 degrees is not reached very often in the UK ❤❤.

I live in east Kent, and we get less rain than London, some years we don't get snow.

What a fascinating history. I enjoyed this video. 😊❤

And we keep our buildings ,not just tear down for reasons of fashion .
London, Paris and Rome are the best Capitals in the world 🌎 ❤️. I love London and always will. I have a special place in my heart for Copenhagen too.

So much so that scientists use them for researching memory in MRI scanners, etc.

What we know as London is not a city, only the City of London is a City.
London is more big then this implies
I call anything inside the orbital M25 motorway London. Thats 1100 square miles.

The record was a bit misleading being at Heathrow but the air temperature was 40 degrees across the city.

Don't be silly. Of course there are other places worth seeing, but London is still a magnificent place to see.
