England's long history and pervasive culture spread worldwide through the English language and colonialism make England a popular tourist destination, particularly in London




England
  a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west; the Irish Sea is to the north west, the Celtic Sea to the south west, while the North Sea to the east and theEnglish Channel to the south separate it from continental Europe. Most of England comprises the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain in the North Atlantic. The country also includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scillyand the Isle of Wight.
The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but it takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in AD 927, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The English language, theAnglican Church, and English law—the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world—developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation. England's Royal Society laid the foundations of modern experimental science.

Architecture

Many ancient standing stone monuments were erected during the prehistoric period, amongst the best known are StonehengeDevil's ArrowsRudston Monolith and Castlerigg. With the introduction of Ancient Roman architecture there was a development of basilicasbaths,amphitheaterstriumphal archesvillasRoman templesRoman roadsRoman fortsstockades andaqueducts It was the Romans who founded the first cities and towns such as London, Bath, York, Chester and St Albans. Perhaps the best known example is Hadrian's Wall stretching right across northern England. Another well preserved example is the Roman Baths at Bath, Somerset.
St Paul's Cathedral, London, is a Church of England cathedral and seat of theBishop of London. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604.[2] St Paul's sits at the top of Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London, and is the mother church of the Diocese of London. The present church dating from the late 17th century was built to an English Baroquedesign of Sir Christopher Wren, as part of a major rebuilding program which took place in the city after the Great Fire of London, and was completed within his lifetime.

Because the U.S. was once a colony of England, many Americans consider a trip to London a return to the ancestral home. The city welcomes with an English-speaking population, a superb public transportation system and institutions that are familiar, such as a democratic government. It also fascinates with the unfamiliar, such as driving on the left, medieval buildings and strange vocabulary words like "loo" and "trainers." A well-developed, government-funded tourist department helps vacationers enjoy the city.




 Early Medieval architecture's secular buildings were simple constructions mainly using timber withthatch for roofing. Ecclesiastical architecture ranged from a synthesis of HibernoSaxonmonasticism,to Early Christian basilica and architecture characterised by pilaster-strips, blank arcading, baluster shafts and triangular headed openings. After the Norman conquest in 1066 various Castles in England were created so law lords could uphold their authority and in the north to protect from invasion. Some of the best known medieval castles include the Tower of London,Warwick CastleDurham Castle and Windsor Castle amongst others.
