Teacher. What do you know about the history of London?

Student 1. London

London, the capital of Great Britain, is two thousand years old. It is the largest city in Britain and one of the largest cit­ies in the world. Its population is about 9 million people. It is also a huge port.

London is an old city. It was founded in the first century A.D. by the Romans. The Romans went to England many cen­turies ago. They built a town on the river Thames. The name of the town was Londinium. The Romans built Londinium near the river. The place for the town was very good. Soon the Romans built a bridge over the river Thames.

Londinium got bigger and bigger. The Romans built many roads from Lond­inium to other parts of Britain. The River Thames has always been a part of London's history. In Roman times Londinium was a small town with the Thames River at its center. Now, Lon­don is a very large city and the Thames is still at the center of London.

Student 2. Until the twentieth century most people and goods travelled bet­ween the different parts of London along the Thames. It was quicker and safer to travel along the river than along the roads. The kings built their city of Westminster to the west of the City, because the prevailing wind in Britain is from the west. This wind blew all the smells from the port and the factories in London towards the east. As the city grew, the rich people lived in the West End and the poor people lived in the East End. This is changing now, because the docks and a lot of the industries in the East End have closed. Now Dockland is be­coming a new financial center and a fashionable place to live.
