Like all large cities, London has a lot of different parts and river join them together. The oldest part of London is the City of London. There was already a town here when the Romans came. The Romans built a new city with a bridge and a city wall. It became an important part with many industries. Today the City is an international financial centre, full of offices and banks. Over two million people work in the City during the day, but only a few thousand live there. London has not always been the capital of England. The first capital was Winchester. But London has always been the richest city. The kings of England often needed money. So they moved their capital close to London. But they did not want to live in London itself. It was dirty, smelly and dangerous. So they made their capital at Westminster. At first the two cities of London and Westminster were separate and there were fields between them. But slowly they grew together into one city. 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 wind in Britain is from the west. The 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 industries in the  East End have been closed. Now Dockland is becoming a new financial centre and a fashionable place to live.

1.    The oldest city of England is Westminster.
