Description ▣ London, England — What Kind of City Is It? London, the capital of England, an island nation in northwestern Europe, began as a fortress called 'Londinium,' built by the Roman Empire, and has flourished for about 2,000 years since. Especially after the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, Britain expanded its territory across the globe with strong economic and military power, earning the title 'the empire on which the sun never sets.' As a result, London grew beyond being just the capital of England to become a central city of the world. Even today, London remains one of the world's leading cities in politics, economy, and culture. As if to showcase its long history, London is famous for numerous World Heritage Sites such as the Palace of Westminster and the Tower of London, as well as landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Tower Bridge. In particular, the British Royal Family, residing at Buckingham Palace, draws attention from people all over the world. London is also the birthplace of beloved pop culture icons that almost everyone has heard of at least once, such as Sherlock Holmes, The Beatles, Harry Potter, and The Phantom of the Opera. Furthermore, the world-class artifacts and artworks displayed at the British Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the National Gallery, along with the everyday lives of Londoners from diverse races and cultures, add even more charm to this magnificent global city. ▣ Inside the Book The World City Exploration Comic History Trivia series inserts story-related information at the end of the comic and each chapter, effectively delivering knowledge about world history and culture.
