London has been through some pretty tough stages in history: It went thought the Black Death - killed thousands and reduced population by a quarter of what it was once; the Tudors killed you if your religion wasn't right, however right can be very hard to distinguish from wrong and the right changed quite a lot and thousands died for what they believed in. Even in the days of great Brittish empire when people looked for new life in new places, a roaring slave trade started in London and those fellow human beings died in slavery from disease and poverty.
All of these things look bad but most of them had some good outcomes in the long run. The hierarchy in the time of the Black Death had grown so much that a landlord could practically murder peasants legally, so when the Black Death hit, and most of the peasants died, the remaining peasants were offered a wage just to stay on an owner's land. When religion switched everyone got a turn to speak their minds and when James II tried to switch the religion of Brittain from Protestant to Catholic he was rejected - if not they might of had catholic Brittain to this day. And slavery told the Brittains all about terrible conditions and made them feel lucky for what we had.
I suppose history has its ups and downs
When the 1960's through to 70's hit however, London's hard times gave way and a better more stable lifestyle was fitted in its place. People stormed to London to try to get a bit of life you couldn't get anywhere else - fun, free and happy.
I think the thing that makes London so different is that they learnt from their past. All the dying was never in vain, because the people of London know what it was like in those harsh times and now it makes them happy for what and where they are...
I hope they never forget.
