About London

London is the capital of Britain. It’s a fascinating and exciting city with a very long history. Let’s find out more. London is on the river Thames. In about 43AD the Romans built the first bridge over the river and that was the beginning of the City f London. Until 1747 there was only one bridge over the Thames. Now there are twenty-nine…some for cars, some for trains and some for pedestrians. Some are very famous like this one – Tower Bridge.

London has a population of nearly seven million. It’s a big city. But travelling around it is easy. You can take a waterbus on the river. You can go in one of London’s famous red buses or black taxies. Or you can go on the underground. Londoners call this “The Tube”.  It started in 1863, and it was the world’s first underground railway. Over twenty million tourist come here every year – eleven million from abroad, and the rest of tourists from other parts of  Britain.
