1. A seven million city of contrasts, London’s urban look is enlivened by park land and commons, even right in the centre. It contains a mixture of the old and new. The skyline of the once densely populated ‘one square mile’ City*, the home of the Bank of England and the London Stock Exchange*, used to be outlined by church spires and Christopher Wren’s* great cathedral of St Paul*. Now it also features office blocks, and its permanent population has decreased to some 4,000 people.
2. After their invasion of Britain in 43 AD, the Romans established London at the lowest point where the Thames* could be forded. Tidal as far as Teddington Lock, and opening out into a great estuary, the Thames was for centuries the mainstay of the city’s traffic and overseas trade. A new Thames Strategy is preserving many of the historic features along its route and providing continuous walkways and cycle routes.
3. Over the last 200 years, the growing population of the capital spilled out beyond the borders of the origi- nal settlement. Former outskirts, outlying towns and hamlets, were absorbed into the growing city, while retaining some of their village characteristics. Many of the tributaries of the Thames were buried under streets and houses, where some still run as part of the sewer system.
4. In the early 19th century new docks were constructed to the East. The poor working-class districts, that surrounded the docks, and which sometimes were called ‘shanty town’ or ‘slums’, became known as the East End*. These docks were closed in the 1960s. The port is now further down the estuary at Tilbury*. The area was re- developed and revitalised. Hectares of derelict land have been improved or re-developed into industrial premises, high-quality offices, apartments, homes or retail centres, and the transport infrastructure has been improved. The few remaining nineteenth century warehouses and wharves contrast with new developments, such as One Canada Square at Canary Wharf* which, at 244 metres, is the tallest office building in Europe. The area itself has been turned into a major business centre, called Docklands.
5. In the West End* there are theatres around Shaftesbury Avenue, shops in and around Oxford Street, cine- mas, museums and sights, such as Buckingham Palace*, Big Ben*, Westminster Abbey*, London Bridge*, Tower of London*guarded by Yeomen Warders (or beefeaters)*, Tower Bridge*, Covent Garden*, Camden market*, Millennium Dome*, Soho*, Chinatown*, Leicester Square*, Regent Street* and Piccadilly Circus*.
