Talk about the local area

London is located in southeast England, across both banks of the lower Thames River, with a population of 7.17 million, ranking first in the country. It is the capital of the United Kingdom, the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the country, and one of the world's financial centers. London has developed transportation and many historical sites, and is known as the "British Tourism Center". London stands among the world's famous cities with its long history, colorful colors and majestic style.

London has a long history of 2,000 years and has been the capital of successive dynasties. The scenic spots and modern buildings here are colorful and beautiful. London is a busy, bustling and lively city, and many buildings are relics of the Victorian era. The tallest building in the city is the Postal and Telecommunications Tower, 189 meters high.

The Thames River is the lifeline of London, stretching for more than 300 kilometers with beautiful scenery on both sides. 28 bridges with different architectural styles connect both sides of the Thames River. Waterloo Bridge was named by the British to commemorate General Wellington's victory over Napoleon. The most beautiful bridge is the Tower Bridge in London. This Tower Bridge is unique in style and majestic. It has a 5-story tower built on two huge piers. The bridge deck is open and can be lifted apart whenever a ship higher than the bridge deck passes. Connecting the top floors of the twin towers is a pedestrian bridge 140 meters above the water. Standing on the top of the tower, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery nearby.

The City of London gradually developed around the City of London. London is administratively divided into 33 boroughs, and the City of London is a separate borough. The 12 urban areas outside the city are called Inner London; the 20 urban areas outside Inner London are called Outer London. The City of London plus inner and outer London are collectively called Greater London, covering an area of ??1,580 square kilometers. Inner London mainly performs administrative, financial, trade and cultural functions.

London was first built by the Romans. Around the 1st century AD, the British established the London-N?mes administrative headquarters under the control of Rome, and planned to use the Tychos River as an important transportation channel. However, a bridge was needed to connect both sides of the river, so they chose to build a bridge from the Tower of London to the city. After that, it quickly developed into an important town at that time.

London has maintained its long tradition since the ancient Roman Empire. Every corner here has historical relics telling the past, and the streets and alleys here show traces of years of wind and frost. If you go to the Tower of London or Westminster Abbey to explore, for a moment you will feel as if you have traveled back hundreds of years. At the same time, this is the birthplace of miniskirts, and the latest fashions are often introduced to countries around the world.

Many people still believe that Britain is an Anglo-Saxon country with an overwhelming majority of white people. This is not the case. Guests visiting London for the first time may be surprised by how many blacks and Orientals there are. As the capital of the British Empire in the past, London not only accommodated the legacy of the old colonies, but also accommodated a large number of immigrants, which resulted in various profound social problems. But on the other hand, this is also one of the conditions for becoming an international metropolis.

Her Majesty's Tower of London is situated in East London on the boundaries of the boroughs of Stepney and the City of London. Directly south, spanning the River Thames, lies the famous Tower Bridge. To the east of the Tower are the St Katherine's Docks. The Tower of London dominates the river approaches to the City of London, and can be reached by Underground Tower Hill Circle and District lines, or by buses 42 and 78.
