In 2007 the first day of the tour(the prolog) was held in London England.
I'm not sure about the answer above, but I think there's a reason the Tour de France is called so; because it is held in the Country of France. Last time I checked, road bikes can't cross water. Maybe the opening stage was once in London, though.
A road stage followed the London prologue that year. London to Canterbury, the Tour then crossed the channel & began the next stage in Dunkerque.
It begins on the first Saturday in July and last for 3 weeks.
It starts about 12.25 to 13.20 GMT+2
July
Starts at the beginning of July and runs for about 22 days with 20 stages and 2 rest days.
Every year from 1903 and forward, apart from the war years of WWI and WWII.
The Tour has been held every year since 1903 except 1916 - 1919 (WW1) and 1941 - 1946 (WW2).
