MAJOR EVENTS

About London history

The Great Fire (1667)

Romans Establish London (43 AD)

A fire in a bakery in 1667 led to the destruction of 436 acres of the City of London, including 13,200 and 87 churches. In the aftermath, Parliament and the city government started a large reconstruction project.

Romans established a settlement known as Londinum. It allowed the Romans easy access to Europe, and the Thames gave them an ample water suply. It lasted until the 5th century.

London Underground Opens (1863)

Great plague (1665 to 1666)

It’s impressive to think that the first underground transport system opened in the city in 1863. Not only has the Tube become a major part of London transportation, but it served as the model for other underground trains all over the world.

Bouts of bubonic plague struck the city over a three-hundred-year period. Londoners died by the scores. Perhaps the most significant was the Great Plague of 1665-1666, in which the city barely held on as anyone with money and influence fled.

At the Tower of London you can take a tour with an audio guide in which you will be guided throughout the area, explaining the complete history of the monument. There are interactive activities in some areas of the tower. It's eally a 100% recommended activity, as you leave with a very good experience. Here I show a video in which they will give you a tour and tell the whole story.

The Big Beng and the Wesminster Palace

Monument to the Great Fire of London

The Monument to the Great Fire of London is a fluted Doric column in London, England, situated near the northern end of London Bridge. Commemorating the Great Fire of London, it stands at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill, 202 feet (62 m) in height and 202 feet west of the spot in Pudding Lane where the Great Fire started on 2 September 1666.

A major tourist attraction in London since the Victorian era, Madame Tussauds displays the waxworks of famous and historical figures, as well as popular film and television characters played by famous actors. Operated by the British entertainment company Merlin Entertainments, the museum now has locations in cities across four continents, with the first overseas branch opening in Amsterdam in 1970.
