Apposition
I am having some confusion about apposition:
"There is a lot of activity in the city of London."
"There is a lot of activity in the city London."
"There is a lot of activity in London."
Are all of "the city of London", "the city London", and "London" correct and the same?
"There is a lot of activity in the city of London."
"There is a lot of activity in the city London."
"There is a lot of activity in London."
Are all of "the city of London", "the city London", and "London" correct and the same?
