london

1. london began as a roman settlement in ad1 43 and grew rapidly into a large market town. after the romans left in ad 410 the town declined because the new conquerors, anglo-saxons2, lived in small farming commu­nities.

a new era began for london when william the conqueror3 came to britain in 1066. medieval london ceased to exist on 2 september 1666 when a fire destroyed three-quarters of it. in the 18th and 19th centuries london developed as a commercial centre.

2. the gradual growth of the city helps to explain the fact that london does not have just one centre, it has a number of centres: the financial and business centre, the shopping and entertainment centre in the west end, the government centre in westminster.

museums and art galleries abound in london, but two of the best are the british museum and the national gallery. the british museum, which is still free to enter, is the oldest museum in the world and contains treasures from the roman, greek, egyptian, oriental and asiatic cultures. its important artefacts4 include egyptian mummies and their sarcophagi.

3. the national gallery houses a marvelous collection of over 2,200 european paintings from the 13th to the 20th centuries.

of the many beautiful churches and cathedrals in london, westminster abbey is perhaps the most important.

the tower of london5 is one of the most interesting places in london. it was a fortress, a royal residence, a prison, now it is a museum. not far from the tower you can see the tower bridge, one of the finest bridges in london.

4. today, london is a huge metropolis, an ancient and ever changing city. most londoners as well as tourists agree with samuel jonson, who once said, "when a man is tired of london he is tired of life".
