London is a modern Mecca for those who love art as the city literally brimming with all sorts of artistic venues and art galleries, each and every of which is housed in fashionable building which is a masterpiece in itself.

The British Empire was once known to rule the biggest part of the world, and the center of this influential Empire was in London, its capital. The first blow to the Empire was the Roman invasion led by legendary Julius Caesar that took place in 55 BC. The ships of Rome pulled into the havens of Kent, and the Roman warriors landed and marched on into the very heart of the British Empire, to the river Thames. Back then the North Bank was scarcely inhabited by a small group of tribesmen, but when the Romans returned in 43 AD this region was already densely populated with settled community. This place is now known as Southwark. There was an unsuccessful attempt of Queen Boadicea to take Londinium as it was known way back then in 61 AD which resulted in Roman?s victory. The Romans left a lot of marks in the appearances of the city, and until now we can see the signs of their culture. One of them is the Southwark bridge connecting the banks of the Thames and the remnants of the city wall ...
