London is the capital of Britain. Its a fascinating and exciting city with a very long history.
London is on the river Thames. In about 83 AD the Romans built a bridge over the river. And that was the beginning of the city of London. Until 1747 there was only one bridge over the Thames. Now there are 29, some are for cars, some are for trains, and some are for pedestrians. Some are very famous, like this one, Tower Bridge.
London has a population of nearly 7 ml. Its a big city. But travelling around is easy.
