                     From the History of London

 

     London is a very old city. It is at least two thousand years old. The history of London begins about the year A.D. 43, when the Romans were in possession of the southern part of Britain and founded a military station on the present site of London. London was not built as a city in the same way as Paris or New York. It began life as a Roman fortification at a place where it was possible to cross the River Thames. A wall was built around the town for defence. Here on the banks of the Thames there had been a small settlement named Llyn-din when Caesar came to this place in the year 55 BC. Llyn-din became Londinium. The Romans made Londinium a large and reach city with good streets, beautiful palaces and shops. London was an important city in Roman times. In the 5^th century the Romans left Britain and other nations came and ruined the city. Londinium had lain in ruins for nearly 400 years when in the 9^th century the Saxon kings began to rebuild the city. In 1066 it became the capital of Britain and was called London. By the Middle Ages, when London became the political and commercial capital of England, it was one of the most important cities in Europe.

     Now London is one of the largest and most beautiful cities in the world. As London lies in the valley of the Thames, not far from the sea, it is also one of the biggest ports. London has no one single centre. It arose from a number of towns and villages which have become parts of Greater London. Some of the names of those villages you can find in the names of the streets in modern London – Kensington, Westminster and others. Some 9 million people now live in London and its suburbs, and the city covers an area of 620 square miles, making it one of the largest of the world’s capitals. One reason for its size is the preference of the English for the terraced houses and small gardens. As a result less than 5,000 people live in the oldest part of London.

    The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. They lie to the north-west of Europe and include two large islands – Great Britain and Ireland and some five thousand small islands. Great Britain (or simply Britain), as you know, is the largest island of the British Isles. It is divided into three parts: England, Scotland and Wales. England is the southern and central part, Scotland is in the north of the island, and Wales is in the west. And what is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? – The UK is that part of the British Isles which consists of Scotland, Wales and England (the whole of Great Britain), and also Northern Ireland which is situated in the north-eastern part of Ireland.

    Great Britain is separated from the continent by the narrow strait of water which is called the English Channel. From the west the country is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, from the east by the stormy North Sea. The Irish Sea lies between England and Ireland.

    The nature of the British Isles is picturesque. There are many rivers and very beautiful lakes in the country. The mountains in Britain are not very high, but they are very beautiful. The most mountainous region is Scotland with the highest peak Ben Nevis, which is also the highest one in Britain. In Wales there are also many beautiful mountains and valleys. The highest mountain in Wales is Snowdon. Wales is also a country of lakes. It has the most famous lake in the world – Loch-Ness.

    There are many rivers in Great Britain, but they are not very long. The Severn is the longest river in Britain but the Thames is the most important one. The Thames is rather wide and deep. The capital of the United Kingdom, London, stands on this river. Scotland’s most important river is Clyde, on which stands Glasgow. As the country is surrounded by seas from all sides there are some great ports at the seaside: London, Glasgow, Liverpool, Plymouth and others.

    The climate of each country much depends on its geographical position. As we know, Great Britain is situated on islands. Seas and oceans influence the British climate. It is not very cold in winter and never very hot in summer. The weather changes very often and it rains in all seasons. Britain is known as a very rainy and foggy country. The Gulf Stream, bringing warm waters to the British shores, makes the climate of the country mild and damp. There is no ice on the lakes and rivers in winter. The rivers do not freeze, and snow never lies on the ground for long, except in the north, especially in the Highlands of Scotland.

    There had been no towns in Britain before the Romans conquered it. People lived in small villages along the rivers or near the sea. They caught fish, grew wheat and had many pigs, cows and sheep. Later they learned to make things of wool and metal and sold them to the people who came across the sea. As soon as the Romans with Julius Caesar at the head had                                                  invaded the British Isles, they began to build towns, splendid villas, public baths as in Rome itself. England was added to the Roman Empire in 43 A.D. Roman invasion played a very important role in the history of the country. The Romans built the first roads, dug the first wells. The Romans were great road-makers and now a network of roads connected all parts of the country. The chief Roman roads are still among the highways of modern England. The Romans, who were great architects, constructed the first towns in Britain. York, Gloucester, Lincoln and London became the chief Roman towns. The Romans left the country only in the second half of the 5^th century

    After the withdrawal of Roman legions, different tribes tried to control the territory of Britain. But the Normans influenced the British civilization most of all. They came in 1066 under the leadership of William the Conqueror. As the invaders spoke French, their speech influenced the English language. That is why English comprises a lot of French words and word combinations

    Once more the British had to face the French in 1805 at the battle of Trafalgar. Then Admiral Nelson won a great victory over the French fleet. In order to commemorate this event the main square in London was named after this battle. And the monument to Admiral Nelson was erected on this square.

    Many historical events and personalities led the country to the position of the powerful and highly-developed state.

    There are a lot of interesting places in Great Britain. They are both modern and ancient monuments, like Stonehenge and Hadrian Wall, Durham Castle and York Cathedral. The famous Lake District is in Northern England

In York the tourists are usually attracted by the National Railway Museum. But the main attraction is London’s places of interest.   

    The Englishmen love their country and take care of it. Everyone who comes to Great Britain says that it looks like one great beautiful park.
