“ This is London ”
London grew up around two historic cities – the City of London and the City of Westminster. The City of Westminster began as a residence for England’s rulers. The City of Westminster stood about 3 miles southwest of the City of London which was surrounded by a great wall. As London grew, it spread far beyond its walls and took in the royal City of Westminster. Today the area where the Roman London stood is known as the City of London. It is often called the City. These two parts are the centre of London today. Central London has tall office buildings and busy streets as well as outstanding museums, art galleries , theatres and beautiful parks
