London Tourism
London Tourism: Hotels - Tourist Attractions - Vacations
Is
it the world-known Buckingham Palace guards as one of the
most traditional attraction of England or one of the more modern attractions
such as the London Eye, the capital of England is the symbol
of tourism for England and tourists would frequently choose it as
their starting point for their vacation in England. London is one
of few true cosmopolitan metropolises that Europe has to offer. A
further symbol of London is the red double-decker bus, well-known
in the whole world, however at the end of 2005 the city’s authorities
started replacing the double-decker by red Mercedes Benz buses. Yet
there are a lot of classical red double-decker buses around and when
you are booking for a city tour, which I recommend strongly, you will
notice that all tourist buses are classical double-deckers which makes
it more fun to cruise around the city center.
London is infinite in variety and very dynamic. The city has 37 different
ethnical subpopulations and each consists of more than 10,000 people.
The number of inhabitants is going towards the ten-million-mark. In
the past the capital of England has adapted incessantly to constant
changing conditions. Today's London has only few in common with the
settlements that once created the city along the banks of the Thames,
in order to provide accommodation for the river dealers on their way
to the sea. When the Romans came the city began to develop in rapid
speed. The Romans build a fortress to protect themselves against the
penetration of savages and Celtic tribes and named it Londinium. London
was born!
To control the England better the Romans built fortresses and roads
and introduced law regulations to the country. The Roman historian
Tacitus described Londinium in the year 60 as a booming city with
a commercial center full of travelers.
