^{Much of today's London belongs to the Victorian era. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the capital was reduced to the limits of the original Roman city, plus Westminster and Mayfair, surrounded by fields.

In 1810, Bolivar paid a visit to Great Britain, as head of a diplomatic mission, to obtain British support for the newly formed Junta in Caracas. At this stage, Bolivar did not have the authority to make efforts in favor of British support for the Venezuelan independence of Spain, but nevertheless he was looking for weapons supplies and commercial protection. London became an important center for fundraising, recruiting volunteers and buying weapons for rebel armies. Francisco de Miranda, the Venezuelan soldier and patriot considered to be the "Precursor of Independence", served as host during the visit to London, since at that time he resided there. Bolivar admired British institutions, especially the system of constitutional monarchy. His political ideas were strongly influenced by the writings of British political philosophers such as Jeremy Bentham, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke.
