Control Work 4

Version 1

London

London is a political, economic and cultural capital of the United Kingdom. London is really three cities: the City of London, 1 sq. mi.; business centre, radiating from this is the area of 117 sq. mi. governed by the London County Council; and finally Greater London, whose frontiers reach far out into the surrounding counties of Essex, Middlesex, Kent, Surrey, and Hertfordshire.

London is a city of commerce, finance, and trade. London is the insurance centre of the world, symbolized by Lloyd’s. The bank of England, created in 1694 and nationalized in 1946, remains a symbol of finance. London is a leading international auction mart for works of art through the sales at Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Now there is the new London, growing upward because of the insatiable demand for land. Much of the character, charm, and glory that were the City of London have vanished amid the clifflike walls of concrete office blocks.

The Houses of Parliament, seat of the Mother of Parliaments, at Westminster are not ancient, having been started in 1837. When Parliament sits, a flag flies from the Victoria Tower by day and at night a light shines in the clock tower above Big Ben, the famous clock named after Sir Benjamin Hall, commissioner of works in 1858 when it was made. Across Parliament square is one of the masterpieces of the Middle Ages, Westminster Abbey. The early history of the abbey is unknown though the site was used by the Romans.

London has a number of royal places, but only one, St. James, was actually built as a palace, the others being originally private houses of the nobility. Buckingham Palace was built by the Duke of Buckingham, later it was bought by George III, who moved there from St. James’s.

On the waterfront is the famous Tower. In its time it has been fortress, mint, armory, prison, and museum. London has many parks, among them Hyde Park with its Speaker’s Corner.
