Counties that surround London - Worksheet

This worksheet, created by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, invites students to explore the geography that surrounds the capital city of the United Kingdom, London. The task at hand is to identify and name the counties that border London. There are eight spaces provided for students to write down the names of these surrounding counties, encouraging them to think about London's position within the UK and its neighbouring regions.

In addition to the geographical exercise, the worksheet poses thought-provoking questions about London's status and location. Students are asked to consider why London is the capital city of the United Kingdom, prompting them to think about historical, political, and cultural factors. Another question asks them to describe where London is situated and to discuss its accessibility, which could lead to discussions about transport links, infrastructure, and London's role as a hub for both national and international connections.
