The old Celts gave it its name, the Romans made it the centre of their new colony, the Germanic invaders made London the capital of the country.
The central part of London is full of historical remains. Almost every building, every bridge, every street, palace house, and stone - each of them has its own story, its own past. In London past and present are so mixed that they cannot easily be separated and when you are in London you see the past in the present and the present in the past.
2. The oldest part of London is called the City. In the City the streets and pavements are very narrow and the traffic is very heavy but on week-ends the City is almost dead.
The most fashionable and the most expensive part to live in is the West End. It is situated between the City and Hyde Park. The City and the West End are the heart of London; they are the parts which everybody who comes to London must see and want to see, because they are more interesting than any other part of London.
