2. Founders
London was not a claimed area. In 47 AD the Romans found the land that is now
London. They used it as a trading area due to the canal. The bride that goes over
the river, the Romans used that bridge to get their troops to the other side without
others knowing where they are.

3. Transportation
From 1993-2000 they used a system called the London
transportation system, which is a train. Now they still have trains,
but they are more modified and easier for citizens to get to and use.
There other biggest transportation is the big red two story bus. This
bus is one of their biggest tourist attractions, because honestly who
wouldn’t want to ride around on a two story bus that bright red?

10. What model fits best?
London goes by the Harris-Ullman’s Multiple-Nuclei Model, it
doesn’t apply to the Burgess model because how London is built it
wouldn’t qualify for the correct zones in the Burgess Model. For
the Hoyt’s model, London is almost fits into this model but just
misses it because the land areas are either too close together or too
far apart. Therefore the Harris-Ullman’s Multiple-Nuclei Model is
the best fit for London.

11. Three main economic activities
London’s main resource is coal. London’s canal is the biggest
resource to get things shipped out and is great for trading. The
secondary thing is petroleum, and lastly natural gas. This is all
determined by the government of the United Kingdom.
