There are two vertical lines which are considered to be the main ones. Number one is the Prime Meridian and the direct opposite of that, on the other side of the globe is the International Date Line. A major city that is crossed by the Prime Meridian is Greenwich, in England, London.

The line of 180 degrees longitude (which is neither East nor West) is exactly opposite the Prime Meridian. For a good portion of its length, it coincides with the International Date Line.
The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, U.K., a suburb of London, so for all practical purposes, London is the answer to the second part of your question.

The MAJOR city is London.
