London is the largest city in Western Europe and the world's largest financial center. London forms The greater London agglomeration in the larger Metropolitan area with a population of more than 12 million. It is located in the South-East of great Britain, on the banks of the Thames, about 80 km from the North sea.It is a river and sea port. London has six airports and the oldest metro in the world. It houses more than 40 universities, the British Museum, and one of the world's largest libraries, the British Library.

London was created from two ancient cities - the city of London and Westminster, both cities forming Greater London. The tower of London is adjacent to the city of London. In a fire in 1666, the city was severely destroyed.

The first major settlement was founded by the Romans after their invasion of Britain in 43 ad. First they built a bridge over the river Thames. Later, they decided that this would be a great place to build a port. The waters were deep enough for ocean-going vessels to pass through, and remote enough for protection from German invaders. In 50 ad, Roman merchants built a city near the bridge called Londinium. So London was born. 

For a long time, London remained a small city. All its inhabitants lived within the walls built by the Romans. This area is called the city of London. There were many villages around the city. Gradually, more and more people moved there. So, step by step, the villages merged into one big city. 

Another famous part of Greater London is Westminster, which was established as a state residence in the XI century.  Westminster Abbey (the Cathedral), the Palace of Westminster (the British Parliament with Big Ben) and 10 Downing street (where the Prime Minister lives) are located here. 

In the XI-XII centuries, London became the capital of England. At the beginning of the XVIII century, it became the capital of great Britain and the largest city in Europe. From 1825 to 1925, it was the largest city in the world. From the 16th to the 20th century, it was the capital of the British Empire.
