For almost 2,000 years, the River
Thames has served as the life force of London, capital of the
United Kingdom and one of the world’s most famous cities.
In AD 43 the Romans established the trading settlement of Londinium
at a favorable crossing point on the river. The Romans remained
until the 5th century, when the city came under Saxon control.
The early 17th century saw enormous growth, but the deadly plague
of 1664 and 1665 ravaged the population, and in the following
year the Great Fire, which burned for four days, destroyed most
of the city. A public transportation system and other city services
in the early 19th century eased many of the increasing urban problems
of the burgeoning capital of the wealthy British empire. After
coping with the devastating effects of bombing during World War
II and the gradual dismantling of the empire, London today thrives
as a vital modern metropolis. London is one of 100 cities being
studied using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection
Radiometer (ASTER) data to map and monitor urban use patterns
and growth.London's Elizabetta Hotel Kensington is thought to
