London: From the Beginning to Nowadays 

My name is …. I would like to tell you about London, its history and modern life.

London is the capital of Britain, one of the most important and beautiful cities in the world. More than 7 million people live there.

London is a very old city. The Romans came to England in the 1st century and built the town on the River Thames and a bridge over the river. The name of the town was Londinium. After the year 400 the Romans left Britain.

For many years London Bridge was the only bridge in London. It looked very strange: there were many shops and houses on the bridge.

In 1066 William the Conqueror and his people came to England from France. William the Conqueror became the King of England. He was afraid of the people of London and built the White Tower to live in it.

In 1666 there was the Great Fire of London and many houses were burnt.

By 1830, there were more than one and a half million people in London. The railways came and London became richer and richer.

Now I will tell you about the places to visit in London.
The Tower of London. It was a fortress, a palace, a prison, and the King’s Zoo. Now it is a museum.
St Paul’s Cathedral is the greatest English church. It’s a beautiful building with many columns and towers.
The Houses of Parliament is a long building with towers. Big Ben is one of the towers with a big clock.
Westminster Abbey is the most famous church in London. Many English kings and queens are buried there.
Buckingham palace is the place where the queen lives.

I think that London is a very interesting city to visit.
