London started as a Roman legion camp on the banks of river Thames called Lodonium, then grew to become an administrative and trade center. The city is almost a square mile in area and contains, besides the historic center, the business district of London. The city is based in City Hall, is administered s by the Greater London Authority is governed by the Mayor. The major attractions in The City are The Tower and St Paul Cathedral.  London is an international city with over 300 languages spoken by its habitants. This ensures wealth and diversity of culture, culinary choices, music and fashion. Each one of the city neighborhoods offer a different vibe and atmosphere. Shoreditch for example, once a working-class area in the East End of London and also a center of the Elizabethan Theatre, is today an entertainment hub with pubs and nightclubs built there and has become a fashionable neighborhood to boots!  Camden in the northwest of the city is known for its canals and railway terminal and was a trade hub where goods were transported into the city by workhorses. The area was full of stables and warehouses. Today Camden is known for its street markets and food stalls.  Most people can quickly identify some of the iconic London buildings and major attractions. On the UNESCO World Heritage list you have Saint Margaret’s Church and Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, which is the Palace of Westminster. There is also St. Paul Cathedral which is listed as Grade I building and the Tower Bridge (which is one of 35 bridges crossing the Thames River). Then you cannot leave London without checking the time on your watch with the Big Ben, which is really the moniker for “the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster”.   There are close to 200 museums in London and about ten percent of the major ones are free. Just to name a few - The Victoria and Albert Museum, with close to three million artifacts and objects, most probably the largest museum of applied arts in the world. Then there is the British Museum, The Natural History Museum and The Science Museum and more! Who doesn’t know the acclaimed author, Charles Dickens (1812-1870)? He wrote more than fifteen books and even if you have not ready any of them, you do know his two most popular works that were adapted as musical to the stage (both in London and on Broadway) - Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol. The Charles Dickens Museum is in one of his dwellings where he wrote some of his novels including Oliver Twist. The museum is set up as if it was his home and you feel as if you are walking around in someone’s Victorian house! Like Broadway, London's West End offers the best of musicals, theaters and music. The city is well-known for its distinct shopping streets such as the popular Oxford Street, the more elegant Regent Street, The High-End Bond Street as well as many shopping malls, food markets and vintage and antique markets. It doesn't matter how long you will stay in London, there's always something new to discover and enjoy.
