    1. London is the capital of Great Britain. It lies in the South east of England on
both banks of the river Thames. London is one of the largest cities in the world and
the largest port and industrial town in England. London is more than twenty
centuries old.
    2.It began life as a Roman fortification at a place where it was possible to cross
the river Thames. In 1665 there was a terrible plague in London, so many people left
the city and escaped to the villages. In 1666 the Great Fire of London ended the
plague, but it also destroyed much of the city. Although people returned to live in
the rebuilt city after the plague and the Great Fire, there were never again so many
Londoners living in the city centre.
    3.The gradual growth of the city helps to explain the fact that London does not
have just one centre, it has a number of centres: The financial and business centre
called the City, the shopping and entertainment centre in the West end, the
government centre in Westminster.
     4. The City of London is the heart of the capital. The territory of the City is only
about one square mile, but it is the financial an business centre of the country. It
contains almost all important English banks and offices.
     5. The West End of London is famous for its beautiful monuments and palaces,
fine parks, fashionable shops and big hotels. Piccadilly Circus is the centre of night
life in the West End. To the north of it is Soho, which has been the foreign quarter
of London since the 17th century. The East End is quite different from the West End.
It grew with the spread of industries to the east of the City, and the growth of the
port of London.
