London
London is the capital city of England and of the United Kingdom situated on the Thames river, the largest city in Britain and one of the largest cities in the world.
London began on two small patches of dry land in the middle of a marsh on the north bank of the Thames. That was long before the Romans came. In Roman times it was named Londinium, and was already a centre of trade. Today London covers a vast area, with millions of inhabitants.
Actually there are several Londons. First, there is the City of London. It is an area of one square mile running along the Thames Embankment from about Waterloo Bridge to Tower Bridge. It is the financial and business centre of Great Britain. About half a million people work there during the day. At night it is almost deserted.
Then there is the County of London. It is composed of about thirty boroughs in addition to the City.
Finally there is Greater London which includes inner London and the suburbs. It forms a kind of circle with a radius from fifteen to twenty miles.
The existence of London depended on its water-born trade which still makes London one of the world's largest ports. Historical and geographical circumstances have turned London into one of the world's most important commercial and cultural centres.
London has many different faces. There is the West End, a fashionable shopping and entertainment centre, where, mostly, well-to-do people live. There is Mayfair stretching from the West End along Park Lane to Marble Arch. There are the Houses of Parliament built on the banks of the Thames at Westminster. Common people reside in the East End. This is a vast area running eastward from the City.
