History of London:
London has been a transportation hub and an important city for almost two thousand years. History does not record the earliest origins of London with certainty. Many believe that London was founded by the Romans.
But archaeological research has shown that before the Romans arrived, there were traces of human activity in London such as farming, living and burying the dead.
By the first century A.D., the Romans, under the leadership of the emperor Claudius, formally conquered what had become Britain in A.D. 43. They established a settlement on the Thames and named it Londinium.
The Romans later built walls here and gradually built massive cities in the area surrounded by the walls. Although Londinium looks like a Latin name.
But some scholars believe that the word comes from the language spoken by the Celts who originally inhabited the area, and may indicate a wilderness area or a place where a river flows.
