France is the country located not far from London.
The proximity of France to London is primarily due to the English Channel, a body of water separating southern England from northern France. The Strait of Dover represents the narrowest point between these two countries, measuring approximately 21 miles (34 kilometers) across. This relatively short distance makes France the closest continental European country to London and the United Kingdom.
The Channel Tunnel, also known as the Eurotunnel, further facilitates travel and connection between the UK and France. It allows for train travel directly from London to Paris and other European cities, solidifying France's position as a geographically and economically close neighbor to London. Other nearby countries include Belgium and the Netherlands, but France is generally considered the closest.
