TOP 5 interesting historical FACTS ABOUT LONDON. #london #england
1. London was once ruled by the Romans
Romans did not just discover London. They also marched their armies and conquered Britain and made it a province in AD 43 under the command of Emperor Claudius, a Roman emperor (41–54 CE). During their time, London was called Londinium.
2. The City of London is the smallest city in England
London might be the largest city in England and the UK, but the City of London is only a ceremonial county, a local government district and just a small part of what we know as Greater London. It covers an area of just 1.12 square miles or 2.90 square kilometres.

3. The world's first traffic light was installed in London
In 1868, right outside the House of Commons (a place where elected representatives or members meet), the world's very first traffic light was installed. It was a very innovative idea at that time; sadly, it exploded the following year and injured the policeman who was in charge of operating it.
4. Cleopatra's Needle was brought to London from Egypt
The ancient Egyptian obelisk, Cleopatra's Needle, was gifted to Britain by the Sultan of Egypt and Sudan in 1878. Even today, it stands proudly on the Victoria Embankment. The obelisk weighes over 200 tons and was transported via a special iron cylinder ship.
5. London has four UNESCO heritage sites
London has several unique archaeological buildings and four of them have been recognised as UNESCO heritage sites because of their Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and international significance. These distinguished sites are:
• Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey, including St Margaret’s Church
• Tower of London
• Maritime Greenwich
• Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
