London still remains one of the world's greatest ports. It exports manufactured goods and imports petroleum, tea, wool, raw sugar, timber, butter, metals, and meat. Consumer goods, clothing, precision instruments, jewelry, and stationery are produced, but manufacturing has lost a number of jobs in the once-dominant textile, furniture, printing, and chemical-processing industries as firms have moved outside the area. Engineering and scientific research are also important to the economy, as is tourism. The city is a hub for road, rail, and air (its airports include Heathrow and Gatwick), and it is now linked to the Continent by a high-speed rail line under the English Channel.

伦敦也是是世界上最大的港口。它的出口制成品和进口石油，茶叶，羊毛，原糖，木材，黄油，金属，和肉类。消费品，服装，精密仪器，首饰，文具生产，但生产已经失去了一些就业机会，曾经占主导地位的纺织，家具，印刷，化工等加工行业的公司都搬到以外的地区。工程和科研也很重要的经济，这是旅游业。城市是一个枢纽的公路，铁路和航空（其包括伦敦希思罗机场和盖特威克） ，现在是与欧洲大陆的高速铁路线下的英吉利海峡。
