My London

London has a recorded history that goes back over 2,000 years. During this time, it has experienced plague, devastating fire, civil war, aerial bombardment and terrorist attacks, yet, it has still grown to become one of the financial and cultural capitals of the world and is home to 7.5 million people.

Late in the second century the Romans had built a defensive wall  London Wall from Tower Hill to Blackfriars

Most Londoners even have their own Culture and Language "Cockney"

On this page will be information and pictures of my London, you will find everything you will need to discover the beauty of this wonderful city. Some of the pages may seem to have very little on them but the pictures and links speak volumes. One thing that you can not miss as you travel around, is the River Thames  it goes straight through the heart of London, with many Magnificent bridges spanning the River. There are many places of interest in London that should not be missed, one of these is the Tower of London.  Also one thing you will notice while walking a round are the Statue's and monuments, you can find over 300 of these from a  bust of a member of the Royal family to the monument which commemorates the Great fire of London in 1666, which followed the Great plague. A few other places that can not be missed are St Paul's Cathedral. A very popular place is the West End, this is where you will find the main shopping streets like Oxford and Regent Street, also Theatres, Restaurants and Bars, which when put together  make an ideal night out. Most of London can be done by foot, and if the weather is good, it will be a very enjoyable one. But for those who think a few hours walking around the streets is not for them, we have our transport system, which consists of the London Underground, London Buses and the Dockland Light Railway. (Pictures) If you want to drive around, one thing you should be aware of is the Congestion Charge on this page it will have all the information you will need.
