The area covers roughly 10 square miles. This covers the City of London, most of the City of Westminster, most of Kensington and Chelsea, and parts of Camden and Islington. The City of London, surprisingly, has a population of just 8000 people, but it only covers just over 1 square mile of land. It is officially the smallest ceremonial county in England and the second smallest by population, behind the Isle of Scilly. Many landmarks are in the City of London including the Tower of London and St Pauls Cathedral. The current St Paul’s Cathedral was designed by Christopher Wren in the 1660’s. Christopher Wren also designed the Royal Observatory and the library at Trinity College. The Great Fire of London happened in the City of London. In total, the fire consumed 13,200 houses – 88% of London’s inhabitant’s houses! It burned from 2nd to the 5th September 1666 and is said to have ended the Great plague of London. South Bank is the area of London on the South of the River Thames near to Waterloo train station. Some of the main attractions on the South Bank include the London Eye, the Tate Modern and the Globe Theatre. The London Eye is 135 metres high and carries 32 air conditioned passenger carrying capsules. The London Eye was the largest ferris wheel in the world when it was built, but this was overtaken by the Star of Nanchang in 2006 and then the Singapore Flyer in 2008. Opposite the Tate Modern, on the South Bank, is the Millennium Bridge – a steel suspension bridge opened in 2000. The bridge was only open for 2 days though, before it was closed due to it being a bit “wobbly” – it was reopened in 2002. The West End is known as the area to the West of Charing Cross, the name dates from the 19th Century. Many of the capital’s theatres are in the West End as is area that lends its name to the most expensive square on the monopoly board – Mayfair. The area of Chelsea is in the “Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea”, most of this borough is considered to be in Central London, as is most of the City of Westminster. The City of Westminster is home to many districts including Marylebone, Pimilco, Paddington and Soho. Soho was grazing farmland until the middle of the 16th century when it was taken y Henry VIII to become a royal park for the Palace of Whitehall.
