They build many roads and buildings and even now you can see the Roman Wall that the Romans build in the second century. Soon London became a Roman stronghold and a trading centre. Later it became the largest city of England. 2. In the middle ages, London was a very rich and independent city, even with its own army. Its citizens supported the king of England or not according to their own decision. When the king came from Westminster where he generally lived to the city of London the Lord Mayor of London met him at the gates and presented him with the keys of the city. This ceremony still takes place when the present monarch of Britain passes through the City on official business, for example opening of Parliament. 3. The City of London nowadays contains mostly financial institutions, business and newspaper offices, banks etc. The City of London became the heart of the business life of Great Britain and plays an important part in the financial and economic life of the world.
