What are the different neighborhoods/areas within London city?
London is vast and Greater London encompasses suburbs which are not strictly in London. London is physically separated by the River Thames into South London on one side and North, East and West London on the other. Transport links are better on the N,E, and W side of London. The financial and shopping districts are also on the N, E and W side, although there are huge shopping malls that service all areas.
