Its internal and external transport and communication connections are effective. This was based on the factors that it has an easier accessibility to various markets, availability of highly qualified personnel who can ensure the success of most businesses. In terms of business and finance, London has qualified to be a global city as it received the highest number of votes as a European city conducting different types of businesses. As far as communication is concerned, Londoners speak in more than 300 languages with more than 15 different religions. It is looking forward to have these groups as the majority in working age population by 2013. The city population is mainly composed of black and other minority groups such as Asians. According to Amin (2006), airport terminals in London conduct more than 110000 flights in one month.ĭiversity is another opportunity offered by the global city of London due to its high population capacity which was estimated to be around 7.62 million by the year 2008, Cowan, (2005). To mention but a few, London is a centre for transport which creates a connection between Europe and most parts of the world. It has been recognized as a world class and full of much dynamism due to its ability of giving many people different types of benefits and creation of opportunities. This has led to a noted competition between large stores and supermarkets with small scale producers.

However, this has led to labour intensive which mostly results from immigrants (Atkinson, and Bridge, 2004).Ĭity of London like many other global cities has an increased population of immigrants which has led to a major growth of small scale producers.

In London, there are niche markets composed of small packed goods which are meant to target the most competent consumers. However, the immigrants and other minority groups cannot afford to purchase these goods, and hence why they take an extra step of purchasing them from the co ethnic producers or even from other low cost shops of other immigrants.
