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.
倫敦也是是世界上最大的港口。它的出口制成品和進口石油,茶葉,羊毛,原糖,木材,黃油,金屬,和肉類。消費品,服裝,精密儀器,首飾,文具生產,但生產已經失去了一些就業機會,曾經占主導地位的紡織,家具,印刷,化工等加工行業的公司都搬到以外的地區。工程和科研也很重要的經濟,這是旅游業。城市是一個樞紐的公路,鐵路和航空(其包括倫敦希思羅機場和蓋特威克) ,現在是與歐洲大陸的高速鐵路線下的英吉利海峽。
