History
Central London reflects continuous occupation from Roman Londinium through Norman and Tudor power centers to Victorian reconstruction; many landmarks are products of successive rebuilds after fires and wartime damage.
Conservation
High visitor numbers concentrate wear on parks and pavements—use marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and support local conservation initiatives when visiting green spaces.
