Founded
about 2000 years ago by the Romans, Londinium, now called
London has a long history. It was already the largest
city in Western Europe since 1700, when 575,000 people
lived in London. This was largely due to the Industrial
revolution, which started in England. London lived its
heyday during the Victorian age, when London was also
the capital of the huge British empire.
Today London
is a cosmopolitan city of more than 10 million
people, still the largest in western Europe and it is
one of the main financial centers in the world.
