Լոնդոնը Անգլիայի մայքաղաքն է, Մեծ Բրիտանիայի մայրաքաղաքը: Լոնդոնի ամենամեծ քաղաքն է Եվրոպայում և ամենահին քաղաքներից մեկն է: Կելտերն են տվել նրան այդ անունը, բայց Հռոմեացիները դարձրեցին Լոնդոնը գաղութ: Շատ տարիներ Գերմանական ցեղերը հաձակվում էին Լոնդոնի վրա, բայց նորմանները վերակուռուցեցին քաղաքը և դարձրեցին մայրաքաղաք:

The central part of London is full of historical remains. Nearly every building, every bridge, every street, palace, house, and stone — each of them has its own story, its own past. In London past and present are so mixed together that they cannot easily be separated and when you are in London you see the past in the present and the present in the past.
The oldest part of London is called the City. In the City the streets and pavements are very narrow and the traffic is very heavy on weekdays. That is because the most important London firms and banks have offices there. But at weekends the City is almost dead.

The most fashionable and the most expensive part to live in is the West End. It is situated between the City and Hyde Park. The City and the West End are the heart of London; they are the parts which everybody who comes to London must see and wants to see, because they are more interesting than any other part of London. All the most interesting buildings, shops and offices are situated here.
