History
Central London layers Roman roads, medieval royal precincts and modern civic institutions; sites like the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey anchor a millennium of national history.
Conservation
Use public transport, carry a reusable bottle, and stick to marked pathways; high foot traffic at landmarks requires low‑impact behavior to preserve stonework and green spaces.
