Example 1 – The location of
London
London is situated in the south east of
England. It is located on the River Thames.
London is situated 75km south east of
Oxford. The M25 runs around London. A
number of other motorways lead to London.
These include the M1, M11 and M23.
London is sited here because the land is flat
and easy to build on. Being located on a river
London developed as a port. This created
many jobs so people moved to the area.
