Established as far back as 43AD, London was founded by the Romans. Acting as a key hub of commerce and trade throughout the centuries, London remains in modern history, one of the most powerful cities on the world map. In recent generations, London was the home of the Swinging Sixties which saw art, music and fashion redefine pop culture as well as drive a youth revolution. Today, London continues to be a melting pot of creativity; it is an epicentre of culture and social diversity.
