England is a single country, while the United Kingdom is a sovereign state made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. So England is one part of the UK, not the whole thing. Using the two words interchangeably is a common but understandable mistake.

Great Britain is the name of the island that contains England, Scotland, and Wales. England is only the southern and central portion of that island. In short, Great Britain is a landmass shared by three countries, whereas England is just one of them.

Yes. England is a country, but it is not an independent sovereign state on its own. Instead it is one of the four constituent countries that together form the United Kingdom. It has its own identity, history, and traditions, while sharing a government and monarchy with the rest of the UK.

London is the capital of England, and it is also the capital of the wider United Kingdom. It sits in the south-east of the country on the River Thames and is England's largest city, serving as its political, financial, and cultural centre.
