The name London comes from the Romans who came to England in AD 43. They built houses and other buildings and made a town on the both banks of the River Thames. They called the town Londinium. It became a rich town with about 50,000 people living in it. But soon after AD 400, the Romans left Londinium to go back to Rome, and nobody lived in the town for many hundreds of years until in 1066, William the Conqueror came to England from France to be king. London covers 600 square miles with the population over eight million people. It consists of 32 district called “boroughs” some of which were small towns before. They are Greenwich, Chelsea, Paddington and others. Traditionally, London can be divided into 3 main parts – East end, West End and the City. In the center of London there are two small towns from which it has grown up – The City and Westminster. The City contains most financial institution of GB. It is commercial center of the country. About half a million people come to work there every day. But on weekends it almost deserted, except crowds of tourists visiting St Pauls’ Cathedral, the Tower and other sights. The local authority for the City, namely the City of London Corporation, is unique in the UK and has some unusual responsibilities for a local council, such as being the police authority. It is also unusual in having responsibilities and ownerships beyond its boundaries. The Corporation is headed by the Lord Mayor of the City of London, an office separate from the Mayor of London. Westminster is not far away from the City. It includes Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and government offices named Whitehall. In addition to royal and political building it contains institutions important to intellectual and cultural life of the country: University of London, British museum, National and Tate gallery. Westminster is only a part of West End. The West End is worth visiting. It includes historical places, famous parks, large hotels and shops.
