London has a population of 7,5 million. But what kind of city is it to live in? Well, it's a huge city, full of fun and history, and famous for its diversity and culture. London was the world's most visited city in 2006 with over 15 million tourists and it's an exciting mix of creativity, history and fun.
As for its beginnings, originally, an ancient tribe called the Celts built a settlement here on the river. The Romans made it the capital, after invading in 43 AD, and called it Londinium. By the 3rd century the population was about 30,000.
After the Romans left, in 410 AD, the Vikings, Angles and Saxons moved in, followed by the Norman invasion of 1066. They then began to build hundreds of cathedrals and castles, including the Tower of London.
In 1300, a plague killed at least one third of the inhabitants. It struck again in 1600 and this time over 100 000 people died. Catastrophe hit again in 1666, when the Great Fire of London burnt down most of the old, medieval buildings. So the city was then re-designed and Shakespear's playhouse was built. By 1700 it was Europe's largest city, with over 600,000 people living, working and trading in it.
London grew very rich in Queen Victoria's reign, from 1837, through trade in tea, coffee and sugar, and then because of the Industrial Revolution. By her death in 1901 the population had risen to 6.6 million.
In the World War 2 London was badly bombed and afterwards some unattractive buildings were put up. But gradually London became prosperous again, architecture and modern design flourished and it grew into the lively, multicultural centre it is today.
There are so many great places to visit. Just walk along the river Thames from Tower Bridge and visit the Tate Modern gallery, the Globe Theatre, site of St. Paul's Cathedral, stop off at the London Eye and walk over to Westminster Palace. Or, take a cruise to Greenwich and the Observatory, or down to Hampton Court Palace, visiting Kew Gardens on the way.
There's so much more to do too. The British and Kensington Museums, the markets, and Covent Garden, home of the Opera House, are all a must, as well as the West End for shows and shopping!

In the 13th century the Midland coal fields influenced its development and growth. In the 19th century the Black County was called Birmingham, it was all due to the intensive activity of the heavy industry.

There are many modern factories, but its industrial pattern is mostly based on small firms. Birmingham  produces brassware, silverware motor vehicles electrical equipment, machine tools, metal goods, jewellery, small arms and plastics.
