When one mentions the capital city of England, London with its globally recognised landmarks such as Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament immediately springs to mind.

Tamworth was at the core of the Mercian Kingdom, and the Mercian Kings spent more time in Tamworth than anywhere else. However, London's position as a capital city was solidified in 1066 when William the Conqueror marched on the city following his triumph in the Battle of Hastings.
