London is one of the most famous cities in the world. It is the capital of the United Kingdom. It is a financial centre. An entertainment centre. A culture centre. An academic and educational centre.
But how much do you know about the city’s history?
Today, we are going to go on an historical journey from the Roman invasion of the island of Britain 2000 years ago to the modern day.
Hopefully you’ll learn some interesting history and pick up some useful vocabulary along the way!

I also want to study in UK,but you are right,is a expensive city
Hello! I live in São Paulo, Brazil. We’re about 11M people living here which means it is the most populous city in the Americas, western and southern hemisphere. São Paulos has a lot of interesting things to do, so many museums and parks to visit. You can also enjoy the nightlife, make friends. People here are very friendly and nice. We have a great history, the city was found a long time ago, in the 16th century, and the Independence of Brazil was announced here, on the river Ipiranga’s banks in 1822. Like any big city we also have problems with poverty and housing as London…
And talking about London, I’m going to visit the city for the first time on April, 26. I’m very excited! I”ll visit so many football stadiums and historical places! 🤩🤩
