LONDON, UK || At First Sight

London is probably the city that almost everybody has visited in the British Isles and it is probably the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of England. 

London is the county city of Greater London, in the South East of the UK. London is the most populated city of Europe, with 8,000.000 people. It is the capital city of England. and one of the most multicultural cities in the UK. London is extremely well connected with other importnat cities in the UK such as Bristol, Birmingham, Oxford or Cambridge. And, it is needless to say that you can fly from almost everywhere in Europe and you can fly to anywhere from Lomdon too. Unfortunately, we all know how expensive life is in London, both for tourists and inhabitants. But still, there are no excuses for not visiting this incredibly beautiful city. 

Historicaly speaking, London was founded by the Romans and then invaded by the Anglo-Saxons, and the Vikings. By the 15th and 17th the Tudors had the power over the city and expanded the city. What's more, Shakespeare played an important role for the history of the city with his plays and its theatre, The Globe. In the 17th century some adverse events took place in London: the Civil War, the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. However, in the 19th century some good events took place, the influence of Queen Victoria and the creation the first underground system ever. 

As you can see, my pictures from London (in this post and upcoming ones) differ a lot, some of them are sunny, others are grey, some have more quality than others. Well, this is due to a technical problem in my last trip to the city (I ran out of batery too soon in the day...ups) So I rescued my old pictures of London from years ago (and yes, back then it was sunny and my camera was terrible!)

Fortunately, London was the same, is the same and will be the same.

Enjoy
