Tourism in London

London

Although London is one of the most expensive cities in the United Kingdom, there are millions of homes in the ordinary labor force at reasonable prices, and most importantly, they are safe and permanent homes; no one can be evicted unless they break the lease, and many London homes are built to national standards; Margaret Thatcher's policy was to turn millions of homeowners into owners; however, the housing benefit bill has now risen, causing great suffering to hundreds of thousands of people.

History of London

The ruins of the Bronze Age Bridge were discovered on London's south coast in 1993, and some of its pieces date from between 1750 and 1285 BC. For more information on London's history, see:

Despite evidence of dispersed Brythonic settlements in that part of the world, the Romans founded the first substantial town roughly four years after the conquest in AD 43.

With the fall of Roman power in the early fifth century, London ceased to be a core city, and an Anglo-Saxon hamlet known as Lundenwick formed some 500 years before it, west of the former center of Roman city.

In the twelfth century, central government institutions grew and formed a city, but it never became a true capital in terms of government, and London remained England's biggest metropolis and economic center.

From 1831 to 1925 AD, London was the world's greatest city, and the densely populated conditions of the city at the time contributed to the spread of cholera, which killed 14,000 people in 1848.

Since the 1940s, London has been home to a large number of immigrants, mostly from Commonwealth countries including Jamaica, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, making it one of the world's most diverse cities.

The Economy of London

Before going into detail regarding tourism in London, it's worth noting that London competes with Manhattan as the world's financial capital, with many banking organizations and significant English trade institutions based there, and more about London's economy may be found here:

London is home to the majority of the world's major credit institutions and is a global leader in the trading of Euro bonds, foreign exchange, and energy derivatives.
The City of London contributed roughly 2.4 percent of the UK's GDP in 2009.
The London economy is not restricted to large financial industries; the legal profession, particularly in West and North London, has a strong presence in the economy.
Housing policies are heavily subsidized by the government, and the quantity of apartment complexes is steadily expanding.
The Heron Buildings, a high-rise apartment complex on the Milton Court site near the Barbican, has recently opened, and the Heron Plaza development at Bishops gate is likely to incorporate residential components as well.
