A Quick Look
London was established by the Romans in the 1st century CE and was called Londinium.It went through a series of conquests,and in 1066 the Normans selected Westminster as their center of government.London became one of Europe's largest cities,and — even after being struck by Black Death in the 14th century,by plague and the Great Fire of London in the 17th century,and by German bombs during World War II — it has remained one of the world's most influential cities.
Today,London,with its population of more than seven million,is the capital of England and the United Kingdom and a center of business,finance,politics,culture,arts and style,as well as a busy port city.Greater London stretches over both sides of the Thames River and consists of 32 boroughs that surround the City of London — a one-square-mile area that includes the old city of London and what constitutes the commercial hub of today's London.A region of immigrants,some 30% of London's population is foreign born.
Be sure to wander through the city's parks,including Hyde Park,St.James's Park,Kensington Gardens and The Green Park.
