Discover London
History
Layers of empire, fire, and reinvention. Founded by Romans as Londinium in 43 CE, the city survived Viking raids, the Great Fire in 1666, and the Blitz. The British Empire’s wealth built landmarks like St. Paul’s Cathedral, while the Industrial Revolution crowded the Thames with docks. Today, its multicultural fabric spans Shakespeare’s Globe to Brick Lane’s curry houses.
Geography
The Thames Valley’s low-lying basin hosts Greater London’s sprawl. The river twists past Parliament and Tower Bridge, while hills like Primrose Hill offer skyline views. Green spaces such as Hyde Park and Hampstead Heath cover 40% of the city. The marine west-coast climate means frequent rain and rare snow.
