Planning notes for London
London, the capital of the United Kingdom, originated as the Roman settlement of Londinium around AD 50. The city's historical development is marked by events such as the 1666 Great Fire, which necessitated the rebuilding of its core, and the Industrial Revolution, which expanded its boundaries. The current urban landscape contains four UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London, the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey, Maritime Greenwich, and the Royal Botanic Gardens.
