LONDON IS NOT A COUNTRY

Most people think London is a Country of it's own .. That's not true. London is the capital of England UK 🇬🇧 and there are four countries in the UK with each having their capitals.

Some often confuse England, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and Great Britain.

England is a country just like Nigeria 🇳🇬 and its capital is London just like Abuja is the capital of Nigeria 🇳🇬

Or Ghana 🇬🇭 as a country and accra as the capital of Ghana 🇬🇭.

Great Britain is a collection of 3 countries which came together as one country and has its capital as London. Those 3 countries are:

  1. England,
  2. Scotland
  3. Wales.

When you include Northern Ireland to these 3 countries, they become United Kingdom (Union of four nations)

  1. England,
  2. Scotland,
  3. Wales, and
  4. Northern Ireland.

That is why it is referred to as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Collectively, the four are taken as one country. London is its capital.

These four individual nations all have their own respective capitals.

Accordingly, the capital of

Scotland is Edinburgh,
Wales is Cardiff;
Northern Ireland is Belfast.
England is London.

Additionally,
England,Wales and Northern Ireland uses "pounds" as their official currency

Scotland uses "pounds sterling"

Both pounds and pounds sterling are of the same value but different prints.

No knowledge is a waste ✌️
