We invaded Britain in 43 A.D.,
and soon afterwards founded
the city of Londinium.
In the 60th year AD the city underwent
attack
Queen of britts Boudicca and part
London
it was set fire. My ancestors
restored the city for some years.
Londinium a little
time was exposed to attacks of Saxon
pirates.
Because of it were constructed a little
additional walls along the river.
Romans left Londinium, and the
city began to become populated
gradually Britons. We started
lodging there since the
beginning of the IV century.
In V century on the territory of
Britain tribes Angles, Saxons and
Utah began to move. Saxons
accepted Christianity, and in the
city St. Paul's Cathedral was
erected. Vikings started attacking,
but king Alfred the Great
managed restore the city.
William I (William the Conqueror) erected
the castle — the royal residence which
received the name Tower. At William the
Conqueror’s son started building (1176 —
1209) the well-known London Bridge.
London is the centre of trade and
government . We established many
palaces and parks. The river Thames
is very important, because Britain’’s
navy was expanded.
The Great Fire of London accidentally
started in Pudding Lane in September
of 1666. The fire lasted four days
and wiped out 80% of London.
Few people lost
their lives but, buildings were easily
destroyed. After the fire all new
buildings were made
of stone and brick.
You have seen the history of
London, but I want to show you
London in the future!
Oh, our time is coming!
Let's go!
Here you can see the Tower of London. It
was a fortress, a royal palace and later a
prison. It is a museum now. There are a
lot of interesting collections in the Tower of
London. It’s also famous for its ravens.
The legend says that without them the
Tower will fall.
Now we are crossing Tower
Bridge over the river Thames.
Now we are at Buckingham Palace. It
is the London home of the Queen.
When the flag is flying on the top she
is at home. Look, they are changing
the Guard. It happens every day at
11.30 a.m.
In front of you you can see the
Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.
The Houses of Parliament is the seat
of the British government.
Big Ben is one of the most
famous clocks in the world.
There is Trafalgar Square. On the
column there is a statue of Admiral
Nelson who defeated the French at the
Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. And there is
the National Gallery .
There is Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey is one of the
famous churches of London.
So our trip have ended on time.
For coming back home, you must
find a small door. Good luck!
You are right!
Well done!
Fantastic!
I was in Wonderland of history
of London.
It was great!
