Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London. It comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known four-chimney layout. The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London and is Grade II* listed. The station's celebrity owes much to numerous cultural appearances, which include a shot in The Beatles' 1965 movie Help!, appearing in the video for the 1982 hit single "Another Thing Comin´" by heavy metal band Judas Priest and being used in the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals, as well as a cameo appearance in Take That's music video "The Flood." In addition, a photograph of the plant's control room was used as cover art on Hawkwind's 1977 album Quark, Strangeness and Charm.

Wimbledon is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2005 by Stephen Hammond, a Conservative.HistoryThe constituency was created under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 from the northeastern part of the former Mid Surrey constituency that elected two MPs. The constituency covered a much larger area than it does today and was reduced in 1918 to create the Mitcham constituency and in 1950 to create the Merton and Morden.Political HistorySince 1885 the seat has elected Conservative MPs, except for 1945-1950 and 1997-2005, when in landslide years for Labour, its candidate won the seat. While the 2005 majority was marginal, the 2010 majority was 24.1% of the vote, which in majority terms only suggests a safe seat.In terms of other parties, in 2010 the second-placed candidate was a Liberal Democrat. If including their two predecessor parties this result was their highest share of the vote since 1987, at 25%.

Westminster North is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since its 2010 recreation by Karen Buck, a member of the Labour Party.History1983-1997The seat was created under the Third Periodic Review of constituencies in 1983, which followed the first Boundary Commission Review in 1945, which in turn directly followed the Representation of the People Act 1918 review. Since this there have been three reviews, the latest of which has not been accepted and implemented.Political HistoryThe seat was held with modest majorities for the first creation, made up of three terms, by John Wheeler, a Conservative. Paddington constituency, its main predecessor was often marginal: by length of a single party's representation and by majorities achieved. The far less contributory precursor, St Marylebone, was a Conservative safe seat.2010-datePolitical HistoryThe seat was tipped in mainstream newspapers to fall to the Conservatives: Karen Buck's resilience by winning the 2010 election was remarkable, picking up votes from smaller parties as did her main opponent, a Conservative, in a swing that ran counter to the national trend.

Londres, située au sud-est de la Grande-Bretagne, est la capitale et la plus grande ville du Royaume-Uni ; longtemps capitale de l'Empire britannique. Fondée il y a presque ans par les Romains, Londres était au la ville la plus peuplée du monde. Aujourd'hui largement dépassée dans ce domaine par de nombreuses mégapoles, elle reste une métropole de tout premier plan, en raison de son rayonnement et de sa puissance économique considérable, due notamment à son statut de premier centre financier mondial.Le Grand Londres, composé de Inner London et Outer London, compte habitants en 2011. Il réalise 19 % du produit intérieur brut du Royaume-Uni. La conurbation abrite habitants. Selon différents critères on peut évaluer la population de l'aire métropolitaine, sa zone d'influence directe, à 12 ou 14 millions d'habitants. En Europe, seules les agglomérations de Moscou et Paris ont un poids démographique comparable. Les habitants de Londres sont appelés Londoniens (en anglais: Londoners).
