LONDON

Слайд #2

More than thousand years ago the early Britons established a settlement on the north bank of the Thames. The site had many advantages. It was defended on two sides by rivers. The old Britons gave the town its name, Lyndin, the Romans made it the center of their colony. The Germanic invaders tied to burn and destroy it. The victorious Normans made it the capital of the country. So the physical layout of contemporary London is the end product of historical events.
