London's museums and galleries are as varied and rich as you will find 
anywhere. Monuments run the gamut from Roman ruins to great baroque churches 
representing the architecture of the triumphal British Empire. Many of the 
public buildings were constructed in the 18th century and during the reign 
of Queen Victoria to reflect the city’s status as the financial and 
administrative hub of a great empire.   London today wears its 2,000 years of history with dignity. Alongside 
modern skyscrapers are remnants of the city’s Roman wall. Norman London is 
evident in William the Conqueror’s White Tower, as well as in the oldest 
stones and tombs of Westminster Abbey. A few medieval churches, the city’s 
oldest pub, and the timbered Elizabethan façade of Staple Inn recall London 
before the Great Fire of 1666. Stately Georgian squares from the 18th 
century are preserved in the fashionable West End; the neo-gothic style of 
the 19th century is common.
