London has long been a city of significance and a thriving business capital. In 1993 the city was dated back to the Bronze Age when a structure resembling a bridge was found to date back between 1750 BC and 1285 BC. It is believed the bridge either crossed the Thames or led over to an island now lost by the rising water. Even in the 12th century, London was an important commercial centre and developed under the Corporation of London who saw the population rise from 18,000 in 1100 to 100,000 in 1300. The Black Death in the 14th century, however, saw London lose almost a third of the population. Over the next few centuries, the city rebuilt and during the 1500s London experienced the creation of numerous trading companies such as the East India Company as well as The Royal exchange being founded. In 1666 the Great Fire of London broke out and destroyed most of the wooden building, the rebuilding of the city took ten years. During 1831 and 1925, London was the world’s largest city and saw overcrowding and congestion. After World War II London’s population slowly declines and areas such as Canary Wharf and London Docklands developing, therefore London was able to accommodate more people and raise the standards of living which had previously suffered.
