UK - London - Ancient civilisation and modern metropolis

Mexico's Agua Azul Waterfalls appears on a large ad for Mexican tourism, with the City of London architecture on the northern side of the River Thames. As symbols of ancient and modern architecture in a single scene, we see the development of human endeavour over millennia. The City of London is a city and ceremonial county within London. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the conurbation has since grown far beyond the City's borders. The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London.
