Overview

London is the capital city of England, as well as the political, economic, and cultural capital of Britain [1]. In addition to housing the largest population of any city in the United Kingdom [2], London is home to four World Heritage Sites [3], one hundred twenty-three historic buildings, thirty historic gardens, two hundred museums, and one hundred eight music halls [4].


Early History


The first incarnation of London was founded in 43 AD by Roman soldiers when they built a bridge across Thames. This bridge became the center of a port, and by 50 AD Roman merchants had built up a town around it. At the time, London was not heavily fortified, and was burned to the ground in 61 AD when Queen Boudicca of the Celts led a rebellion against the Romans. After the rebellion was put down, London was rebuilt, and by the end of the 2nd century had a twenty-foot stone wall surrounding it. By around the 3rd century, the population of London has risen to around forty-five thousand, making it the largest town in Britain. [5].

When the last Roman soldiers left Britain in 407 AD, London was largely abandoned. A new town was built outside its walls with a much smaller population of only ten thousand. Eventually, though, London returned to prominence. In 604 AD, a bishop was appointed to the town, and in the 640's AD a mint was constructed to produce silver coins. London rose to be a popular trading center [6].
