The English Rugby Club, Wasps was formed back in 1867 and they play their home games at Adam's Park which is situated in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and boasts a capacity of 10,000. Their first home was situated in North London down Finchley Road which was a rented ground, in 1923 they then moved to their first permanent home in Sudbury in the county of Middlesex and ultimately went on to buy the ground.
Unknown to many started off their life as a football team back in the year 1866 and were known as Hampstead Football Club, although there was a major shakeup that lead to the formation of two totally new clubs. These two clubs were Harlequin Football Club and The Wasps Football Club.
The name ?Wasps? is a peculiar name and that is because in the late 1800's it was common to name football clubs after birds, animals and insects. In 1999 they finally became a professional Rugby Club and competed in the Rugby Union and altered their club logo to separate them from the amateur football club, Wasps F.C.
The Wasps are most prominent for their jersey colours that signifies the clubs name. In the whole history of the London Wasps they have never altered their colours which to this day are still yellow and black for both the home and away kit, allowing them to out their image as a conformed and stable professional rugby team.
They are one of the most thriving Rugby teams in the history of the game gaining major honours in the English Premiership, the Powergen Cup and the Heineken Cup. They also have a plethora of English National players from past and present that have been encouraging and motivational to the Wasps success, these comprise the likes of former captain and strength to the team Lawrence Dallaglio and present England stars such as Phil Vickery, Josh Lewsey and Paul Sackey.
Recently they claimed the title of the Guinness A League, became English Champions and brought the Heineken Cup back to Adam's Park. The force they hold in their club and complete self-belief can only indicate that the Wasps Rugby team can only progress with every season.
Being one of the largest and most populated cities of Europe, London, the United Kingdom's capital is a cosmopolitan area in which a highly diverse range of peoples, cultures and religions coexist today. According to a Guardian newspaper editorial, "London in 2005 can lay claim to being the most diverse city ever." With more than 300 different languages spoken in London's streets by its permanent residents, such a claim seems at least reasonable.
During my last London visit, I was astonished by the multicultural experience a tourist like me could have, just by visiting different neighborhoods and talking to a variety of people. In fact, the city is considered today to be an international transport hub and an extremely popular tourist destination, making London one of the most visited world's capitals; a fact that tremendously promotes its multicultural character.
London's metropolitan are has considerably grown over the centuries, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries increasing industrialization that led to rapid population growth. England's capital was the most populated city of the world until 1925, when New York overtook its immense number of citizens. London continued to grow until World War II and the Green Belt legislation which led to its population largely remain static. But although urban building constructions were not allowed to take place at the same speed as before, the city's habitats' number continued to increase. Today, London's wider metropolitan area has a population between 12 and 14 million depending on the definition of that area. According to the 2001 census, 27 percent of London's population was born outside the UK and about 29 percent were classified as non-white -non-counting the unknown tens of thousands who did not complete a census form. But even this total does not include the second the third generation immigrants, who have inherited the traditions of their parents and grandparents.
Ethnically diverse and historically rich, London continues to attract people from around the globe who find in its neighborhoods their new home. London in 2006 is uncharted territory. According to sociologists and historians, never have so many different kinds of people tried living together in the same place before. Virtually every race, nation, culture and religion in the world can claim at least a dozen of Londoners. But, what some people see as the greatest experiment of multiculturalism of the last centuries is already challenged by the global political and social developments which have recently begun to point out that harmony and peace are more than ever subject to the powers of race and ethnicity.
