The Victorian city of London was a city of startling contrasts. New building and affluent development went hand in hand with horribly overcrowded slums where people lived in the worst conditions imaginable. The population surged during the 19th century, from about 1 million in 1800 to over 6 million a century later. This growth far exceeded London's ability to look after the basic needs of its citizens. In 1829 Sir Robert Peel founded the Metropolitan Police to handle law and order in areas outside the City proper. The early part of the 19th century was the golden age of steam. The first railway in London was built in 1836. In 1848 the great Potato Famine struck Ireland. What has this to do with the history of London? Plenty. Over 100,000 impoverished Irish fled their native land and settled in London, making at one time up to 20% of the total. Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria was largely responsible for the Great Exhibition of 1851. But the expansion of transport was not limited to dry land. As the hub of the British Empire, the Thames was clogged. For all the economic expansion of the Industrial Revolution, living conditions among London's poor were appalling. Children as young as 5 were often set to work.In 1870 those efforts bore some fruit with the passage of laws providing compulsory education for children between the ages of 5 and 12.

From East Asia (China) we adopted tea (and exported the habit to India), and from India we adopted curry-style spicing, we even developed a line of spicy sauces including ketchup, mint sauce, Worcestershire sauce and deviled sauce to indulge these tastes. Today it would be fair to say that curry has become a national dish.

One of biggest Indian celebration in the UK is Diwali.In autumm,tens of thousand of people,including followers of the Sikh and Jain religions,who also celebrate Diwali.crowd onto Belgrave Road in the heart of the city’s Indian community to take part in the “festival of lights”.

The Big Ben never called like this. We called Big Ben to the bell. Before 2013, it name was Tower clock, but when they commemorate the jubilee of the queen they call it Elizabeth Tower. If you look the anagram in the post box, and you see VR (Victoria Reina) is for the century XIX, if you see EIIR (Elizabeth II Regina) is from the present. If you want to know if the queen is in the palace you mast look the flack. When the Union Jack is, the queen isn't in the palace, but when the Royald Estandard is, the queen is in the palace. In London there are more black ravens, the beeefeaters . The people take care of because the legend say that the day that them disappear the tower of London will demolish and with it, England. The people, called the polices, bobbies because of Robert Peel, that his nickname was Bob. The book of Peter Pan was born in the park of Kensington. Barrie invented the name of Wendy when he deform, the word friendly. The first bell of the Big Ben was replace for other in 1857 and they go on for thirty hours. And in 1859 rings for the first time. The name of the Big Ben, originate for Benjamin Hall, manager of the construction and Ben Caunt, the boxer, who helps to go up the bell of two tonnes. The tower of Big Ben has 96 meters of tall and is the tower with clock more tall of the world. In the four sphere of the clock is writed “Domine Salvam Fac Reginam Nostram Victoriam Primam” (“God overcom our Queen Victoria Primera“).
