London is the capital of England and of the United Kingdom. It was established as a civilian town by the Romans about seven years after the invasion of AD43; however, there is evidence of prehistoric settlement in London dating from at least a thousand years before that. The name Londinium is thought to be pre-Celtic in origin and although there has been no academic consensus, it probably means "the flowing river".

During London's 2,000 years of recorded history, it has experienced plague, devastating fire, civil war and two world wars, yet it has grown to become one of the most important business, financial and cultural capitals in the world.

The city is a major tourist destination, with four world heritage sites and numerous iconic landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye amongst its many attractions, along with famous institutions such as the British Museum and the National Gallery.

London is made up of 32 boroughs, plus the City of London borough, and about 22 per cent of London's population were born outside of the UK, which is what makes it such an ethnically-mixed and culturally-diverse city.

Travel around London on public transport is easy and frequent. The London Underground (more commonly known as "The Tube") serves 275 stations and there are hundreds of bus routes serving the city and suburban areas. London has five main train stations:-Waterloo, Victoria, St. Pancras, Paddington and Euston, with trains running to all of Britain's major cities. St Pancras station is also the terminus for the Eurostar train to Paris.

With a large port and five international airports, London is a major international transport hub. Its main airport at Heathrow carries more international passengers than any other airport in the world.

Camden is famous throughout the UK as a lively alternative destination, bustling with markets, cafes, bars and music venues. The area is also famed for its creativity, and in the past has attracted residents from all avenues of cultural life, such as singer Morrissey and writer Beryl Bainbridge.

Camden Town is an area within the larger borough of Camden. The area has been inhabited for centuries, and was the site of two highways leading from the Roman city of Londinium, one of which led west and another of which led to St Albans. The Domesday Survey of 1086 recorded the areas of St Pancras, Hampstead, Holborn and Tothele (Tottenham Court) were recorded as small hamlets where the inhabitants ploughed the land and kept pigs in the forests.

Camden Town itself was named after Charles Pratt, the first Earl of Camden. It began as little more than a handful of buildings beside a main road, but when Regent’s Canal was opened to traffic in 1820 this changed the area considerably.

By the end of the 19th century, Camden Town had grown significantly and a significant number of locals found employment working on or around the canal. In the 1960s, new housing developments and schemes were introduced, bringing new inhabitants into the area. Then, in the 1970s, the conversion of Camden Lock’s wharves and warehouses on the Regent’s Canal into craft markets helped shape the tourist attraction that Camden is today.

The borough of Camden has excellent transport facilities, from Euston and King’s Cross St Pancras railway stations to numerous underground stations. In Camden Town itself are Camden Town underground station and Camden Road overground station. The majority of the serviced apartments Camden has to offer are near transport links of some kind.
