London is not a state, nor is it in a state...unless you are speaking figuratively.
London is a municipal entity...it has a mayor.

This question has been asked in the section "United Kingdom - London" which implies that the original question asker is either stupid or is refering to London, England.
There are of course lots of London's all over the globe, including a few in America, which is causing a lot of confusion among answerers as to WHICH London he/she is actually refering.
As plenty of people have already said, England does not have states - it has counties. And London does not sit in any one county.
The Greater London expanse covers what used to be Middlesex and several bits of outlying counties including Essex and Kent.
Depending how old you are depends on whether you still believe Middlesex actually exists as a county and shouldn't have been wiped off the map in 1965, or you simply use the general term London or Greater London, both of which are meaningless modern-day entities.

There are loads of Londons in America (not very original when naming places you yanks)
A lot of American cities are called after towns or cities from the countries people emigrated from. New 'York' Washington Boston and a few Manchesters too (All English place names)
In the UK there is only one and it isn't regarded as belonging to any County (no states here) as it has expanded into several since it was an original 1 square mile Roman City known as Londinium.

That's because London is not a state. London is in the United Kingdom (England)

If you're talking about the real one, the one in England, I have to tell you that:
1. We don't have states.
2. London used to be in the County of Middlesex, but not any more.
3. London is in it's own administrative area known as Greater London.
If it's not the London in England you're after, it must be elsewhere.

According to our Prime Minister the English don't live here anymore.
Well we all know he has done his best to overwhelm the indigenous population so perhaps he is right?
Given that somebody is paying for his presence and that Wales Scotland and Ireland have their own countries, I suppose London is the capital of 'No one'.
Given away to Quangos and friends unknown, and run by someone who also does not involve himself with the native population, 'Nothing' is the right word for London.
If States are sought, then London is in a ruddy awful state.
If you are looking for a gravy train, then get on board.
Everyone else has from your side of the pond.

What a confusing question.
Are we talking about London UK or is there a London USA that you are referring too?
We don't have states in the UK we have counties.
The state of London at the moment is crowded with visitors due to the holidays, lots of litter which is the norm, loads of shops have sales starting today... all of which I know is not what you are really asking. I am confused what are you asking exactly?

The United Kingdom is not a Federation but a Unitary State, so, it is not composed by federated states but by three kingdoms and several counties within each of them. Unlike the US states, these counties have not political but just administrative power.

www.topozone.com says there are a few London's in a few different US states.
Hmmmmmm........
It seems not everybody knows everything. Imagine that.
THE London, is in England, where they don't have "states".
However, the term "state" in itself can mean country, and therefore London is in the state of England.
There is also London, Ontario, Canada.
And the following US states...
AL, AR, CA, IN, KY, MI, MN, MO, OH, OR, PA, TN, TX, WI, and WV. (Sorry for the abbrev., but it's quicker.)
