Things I didn't know about the UK

From the vast trove of information that is Wikipedia, some things I didn't know about the UK:

They like us, they really like us. At least enough to name a part of London's Canary Wharf business district Canada Square. One Canada Square is a skyscaper that at 235 m is the tallest inhabitable structure in the UK.

The namesake of Loch Lomond, NB, east of Saint John, is in southwestern Scotland and is the largest lake by surface area in the UK.

The more famous Loch Ness is 23 miles long and contains more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined.

Metropolitan London has a population of 12 to 14 million, making it the largest city in the EU, at a little less than half the total population of Canada.
