the British Empire became powerful and rich. During the reign of Victoria, London expanded enormously as industry came to Britain and railways were built linking much of Britain to the capital. In 1834 the Houses of Parliament at Westminster Palace burned down. They were gradually replaced by nowadays Houses of Parliament designed by Charles Barry. The early part of the 19th century was the golden age of steam. The first railway in London was built from London Bridge to Greenwich in 1836, and a great railway boom followed. Major stations were built in London. During the Victorian time, a large part of the city was ventilated through the sewers. Sewage was dumped right into the Thames. When tunnels and pipes were built to direct the sewage outside the city, outbreaks of diseases were drastically reduced. By the 1840's gas lights were being used to light streets all over London. The World's first Underground railway opened in 1862. At first carriages were pulled by

narrow crooked streets in the town but after the fire it became a well-planned city with wide streets, beautiful squares and parks. It started on the second of September, from a bakery shop in Pudding lane and lasted for about 5 days. It destroyed 89 percent of the city . The fire spread very quickly, because the houses were side by side. After the fire of 1666, the face of London changed forever. London is famous for its large parks. The most famous parks are Bushy Park, Green Park, Greenwich Park, Regents park, Richmond Park, St James's park and Hyde park. Hyde Park is the best known because it's the largest and finest park in London. Its territory is 140 hectares. It is famous for its public speakers who stand on a box, a table or just a chair and talk to little crowds about all sorts of political, social and other ideas. The Greenwich Park is also special, because it is surrounding the national sea museum. The Regents Park is known, because there is the London zoo

improved. The streets were widened and the houses were built of stronger materials. Sir Christopher Wren rebuilt 53 of the destroyed churches. Soon the rich people lived in the West End and the workers suffered in terrible poverty in the East End. The first horse-drawn omnibus was imported from Paris in 1829 and the same year witnessed the formation of the Metropolitan Police. 3 The first railway ran from London to Greenwich. During the long reign of Queen Victoria London took on, for the most part, its present appearance. In attempt to solve the serious traffic problems the construction of the Underground began. In 1895 rower bridge was opened. In 1939 WW II broke out and many children were moved out the city. Unfortunately many of them had returned when the Blitz began in 1940. The German bombs started to fall on London like rockets. In 1991 the highest building in the UK, Canary Warf Tower, was opened.
This park contains London Zoo, the world's oldest scientific zoo, and is located near the tourist attraction of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Closer to central London are the smaller Royal Parks of Green Park and St. James's Park. Hyde Park in particular is popular for sports and sometimes hosts open-air concerts.A number of large parks lie outside the city centre, including the remaining Royal Parks of Greenwich Park to the south-east and Bushy Park and Richmond Park to the south-west, as well as Victoria Park, East London to the east. Primrose Hill to the north of Regent's Park is a popular spot to view the city skyline. Some more informal, semi-natural open spaces also exist, including the 791-acre (3.2 km2) Hampstead Heath of North London. This incorporates Kenwood House, the former stately home and a popular location in the summer months where classical musical concerts are held
The City of London History The City of London occupies one square mile in the middle of the capital. It once made up the entire town of London, surrounded by the wall first built by the Romans. The Roman Londinium grew up on the northern side of the "London Bridge" in the past. Products such as olive oil, wines and fruit were brought by ships from different parts of the Roman Empire and unloaded onto wooden quays along the river. In AD 61 the native Celtic Iceni tribe, led by Queen Boudicca, rose up against The Romans. They burnt Londinium to the ground but Roman armies eventually defeated Boudicca. The city was rebuilt and was gradually surrounded with a wall of stone and brick which lasted for many centuries. During the archeological excavations in 1954 the Roman Temple of Mithras was revealed. It was a pagan temple dedicated to the Persian Sun-god. The Temple was later reconstructed only a short way from its original site and the relics are display
