Florida (ⁱ/ˈflɒrɪdə/) is a state in the southeastern United States, bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, to the north by Alabama and Georgia and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Florida is the 22nd most extensive, the 4th most populous, and the 8th most densely populated of the 50 United States. The state capital is Tallahassee, its largest city is Jacksonville, and the South Florida metropolitan area is the largest metropolitan area in the southeastern U.S.

Much of Florida is situated on a peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Straits of Florida. Its geography is marked by a coastline, by the omnipresence of water and the threat of hurricanes. Florida has the longest coastline in the contiguous United States, encompassing approximately 1,350 miles (2,170 km), and is the only state to border both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Much of the state is at or near sea level and its terrain is characterized by sedimentary soils. The climate varies from subtropical in the north to tropical in the south. Its symbolic animals like the American alligator, Florida panther and the manatee, can be found in the Everglades, one of the most famous national parks in the world.

Timothy Charles Parker (born 19 June 1955), commonly known as Tim Parker, is a millionaire British businessman nicknamed the "Prince of Darkness" by labour unions for his track record of laying off workers to cut costs. In May 2008, newly-elected Mayor of London Boris Johnson appointed Parker as Chief Executive of the Greater London Authority, a position which includes managing Transport for London. Parker "agreed not to receive a salary but will get a nominal one pound a year." His erstwhile colleagues expected him to use this as a launch pad for political office.

On 19 August 2008 it was announced that Tim Parker would no longer be chairing the TfL Board - rather Boris Johnson would retain that role. At the same time the post of First Deputy Mayor would be abolished and Tim Parker would stand down from his role as Chief Executive of the Greater London Authority - he will remain as a Special Adviser.

Tim Parker was educated at the independent Abingdon School, at Oxford University's Pembroke College, and the London Business School. He initially worked for the Treasury, before joining the Thorne Group, becoming PA to the Chairman, before being elevated to CEO status in one of the companies. He is married and has four children.
