London is one of the world’s most important capital cities, having expanded over 2000 years since being founded by the Romans (as Londinium) during the time of their occupation of Britain. The original settlement was located on a gravel bank very close to the present City of London. This relatively high location afforded protection from the occasional high tides that, even then, had begun to encroach on the flat marshland that bordered the nearby river.
