From the History of London
It is certain that there was a town or settlement of some kind on or near the place of what is now the city of London.
London was founded by the Romans in 43 A.D. and was called Londinium. In 61 A.D. the town was burnt down and when it was rebuilt by the Romans, it was surrounded by a wall. The area within the wall is now called the City of London.
The Roman occupation lasted about 400 year and came to an end in 409 A.D.
From 369 until 412 the city was the capital of Britain and it was known as Augusta. Subsequently it became the chief seat of the Saxons. King Alfred expelled the Danes and fortified the city. It became famous as a commercial centre at the beginning of the reign of Edward III.
When William the Conqueror conquered England in 1066, he made London his base. He built the Tower of London and was crowned at Westminster Abbey. During the Middle Ages many churches and monasteries were built. Merchants and craftsmen lived inside the City walls and worked in particular areas. During the Tudor period (the 16th century) London became an important economic and financial centre.
The Great Plague, a terrible epidemic, broke in London in 1665. The disease was spread by fleas from infected rats and it took about 100,000 lives.
On September 2, 1666, the Great Fire of London broke. Most of the City lay in ashes. The loss included St. Paul’s Cathedral, more then 80 churches and about 13,000 houses. After the fire many buildings were rebuilt in a much safer way. During the Victorian period (the 19th century) London was one of the most important centres of the Industrial revolution and the centre of the British Empire. Today London is a cosmopolitan city.
