Conquerors do not need much time to build first settlements. Now, one of them is the biggest and most diverse city in European Union – London
It is worth to go back in time to realize how wonderful and amazing this city is.
Despite the epidemy of Black Death that killed one third of the English population in 14th century and the Great Fire which devastated almost 80% of the city in 17th century. London risen like a phoenix from the ashes.
Now thriving and bursting with life it is making its own fortune. It is not only the world’s biggest financial centre through which almost 30 % of transactions is made but also place where annually comes 30 millions of tourists from all over the world.
The reason why London is so compelling is its cultural heritage. The Victorian age had a great influence on the city itself. The buildings and alleys can easily influence our imagination and take us 300 hundred years back when Shakespeare entertained the audience in the Globe Theatre.
Another attractions is the number of over 60 different museums. From Natural History museum where one can find out how did the tyrannosaurus rex looked like through British Museum where the fans of the pharaohs and Greek gods can easily lost some time to the Tate Modern where XXI century is trying to create its own art.
However not the museums and Shakespeare are the most recognizable icons of the London. Can you mention even one person who does not know what the Big Ben is?
Those who stayed at home will not find any other picture on the postcards they get than the picture of Tower of London or the Tower Bridge.
Furthermore the city is not only friendly to the tourists but also to the citizens.
Living in London can be extremely exciting adventure. If you feel fit enough to discover London again you will have to wait till the night. The nightlife is just marvellous. The wide range of the clubs to go and restaurants to dine in is astonishing.
To sum up. It is the city of opportunities where everyone can find something to be happy about but most of all it is the place where all the people create a multicultural community which makes this city shine with its own colours and uniqueness.
