  l am going to write about london bridge. l have been in London for 1 year. Firstly, according to my belief london bridge is the one of the best place in England. A lot of people prefer to go this place because there is a really romantic view if you want to be a special night you can go London Bridge.

  Secondly, l will write about a London Bridge's history. A London Bridge has existed in more or less the same spot for almost 2,000 years. And just as the nursery rhyme explains, it kept falling down. The Romans built the first bridge shortly after they set up camp in London in 46 AD. Constructed out of wood, early versions of London Bridge were susceptible to fire, storms, and occasional invading armies. The first stone bridge was completed after 33 years of construction in 1209. Finally, it is better to visit and feel history.
