Londons travel to work area i 2001 (mørkeblå), med Greater Londons administrative grænse vist som "London".
Londons pendlerbælte (engelsk London Commuter Belt, også kendt som London Metropolitan Area) er et navn på området omkring Greater London.
Grænserne for bæltet er ikke fastsat, og eftersom rejsetiden bliver kortere og kommunikationsmidler forbedres er det blevet muligt at pendle fra et større område. Pendlerbæltet dækker pr. 2006 store dele af South East England og en del af East of England, herunder grevskaberne Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire og Essex. Området havde ved folketællingen i 2001 13.945.000 indbyggere.

London, England above.jpg
For almost 2,000 years, the River Thames has served as the life force of London, capital of the United Kingdom and one of the world's most famous cities. In AD 43 the Romans established the trading settlement of Londinium at a favorable crossing point on the river. The Romans remained until the 5th century, when the city came under Saxon control. The early 17th century saw enormous growth, but the deadly plague of 1664 and 1665 ravaged the population, and in the following year the Great Fire, which burned for four days, destroyed most of the city. A public transportation system and other city services in the early 19th century eased many of the increasing urban problems of the burgeoning capital of the wealthy British Empire. After coping with the devastating effects of bombing during World War II and the gradual dismantling of the empire, London today thrives as a vital modern metropolis. London is one of 100 cities being studied using ASTER data to map and monitor urban use patterns and growth.
