Cheap Train Tickets to London are a great
ideas as London is a city where the train is oftem greater to go to than car,
and where cheap tockets cam be a great idea. People wanting them will be tourists,
people going to events in London, and also commuters. Trains to London cam be
better than the fanmous London Grid Lock, and also are great in other ways. London,
capital of the United Kingdom and of England, is one of the great world cities,
mentioned in the same breath as Paris, Tokyo, New York, Berlin and Moscow. Originally
a Celtic town, it was settled by the Roman invaders who called it Londinium and
used it as a port on the River Thames. The Thames runs right through the city
and bisects it, north from south, although it is crossed by a number of bridges
and tunnels, the most famous of which is the neo-Gothic Tower Bridge. Over the
years, London has increased dramatically in size, absorbing meadows, woodlands,
villages and towns and, prior to 1940, spread outwards in every direction. The
Greater London administrative area covers 1579 km2 with a population of around
seven million. For more detail on the historical development of London see the
history of London. Outward growth was halted through the definition of a Green
Belt. Today Greater London comprises the City of London and 32 London boroughs
including the City of Westminster. The City of London, also known as the "square
mile", is predominantly the financial centre, and geographically a very small
area. Although bustling during the working week, the City of London usually much
calmer on the weekends. The London that most tourists see is the West End with
all its theatres, shops and restaurants. In contrast, the East End has played
host to successive waves of immigrants for centuries and contains some of the
UK's more deprived areas. The Isle of Dogs is however witnessing unprecedented
commercial change and many restaurants, music and comedy clubs are injecting a
more varied atmosphere. See also gentrification. The tourist sites in the West
End are mainly in South Kensington or the City of Westminster. The East End is
centred on the Borough of Tower Hamlets. The airfields of London City Airport,
Heathrow, Biggin Hill, Kenley and Northolt lie within the London boundary. Other
airports at Gatwick, Luton, Manston, Southend and Stansted incorporate "London"
in their name, but they are situated in the Home Counties at some distance. Special
train stations built at Gatwick, Luton and Stansted help to offset their physical
remoteness from the capital and thus spread scheduled airline services in a safe
and manageable way across the region. The elected Mayor of London is Ken Livingstone
MP, who was expelled from the Labour Party following his election as an independent.
He is regulated to some extent by an Assembly elected by a proportional voting
system, which is unusual in the British political context. Improvements in public
safety and transport are his key priorities. There is every likelihood that the
Mayor and the Assembly will be in conflict with one or more Boroughs from time
to time, they had each enjoyed "unitary status" and a fair degree of
autonomy since the Greater London (county) Council was abolished by the Conservative
Government led by Margaret Thatcher in 1985. London has many trains,including
the London Underground, a first Underground train service.
