London has a recorded history that goes back over 2,000 years. In around AD 60, it was destroyed by the Iceni led by their queen Boudica. However, the city was quickly rebuilt as a planned Roman town and recovered after perhaps 10 years, the city growing rapidly over the following decades. At some time between 190 and 225 AD the Romans built the defensive London Wall around the landward side of the city. The wall was about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) long, 6 metres (20 ft) high, and 2.5 metres (8 ft) thick.
In the late 3rd century, Londinium was raided on several occasions by Saxon pirates. This led, from around 255 onwards, to the construction of an additional riverside wall. The wall would survive for another 1,600 years and define London's perimeter for centuries to come.

What you call underground train system in UK?
The London underground system is usually referred to as 'the tube'.
What is the most famous way to get around London?
The underground/bus service is good but busy in London. I would argue that London Taxi drivers (ie Black Cab drivers) are the best in the World. Qualifying to be a London taxi driver is difficult with prospective drivers having to demonstrate "The Knowledge" of London routes. Cheapest way is to walk - but London is a big place and you can only walk if attractions are close to each other. Next use the Underground - the oldest and most extensive in the world and easy to use, but busy at peak times (8-9am and 4-6pm). Get a rover ticket for the day (around £4 or so in 2008) which is valid on all trains and buses. Next use buses - but these are a little more complicated to use as you really need to know which number bus to take. Finallt taxicabs are brilliant, but are the most expensive method.
Why is madame tussauds a tourist destination?
Madame Tussauds is a waxworks museum with full size and very lifelike models of well known people from history and from the present day. It is a constantly changing exhibition to keep up with the latest personalities. For example, if a head of state changes, a new model will be made and displayed as soon as possible. The best likenesses are where the subject has agreed to do a sitting for the model makers so that they can produce an accurate likeness. Some of them are so good that it's hard to believe that you aren't looking at the real person. The bad news is that at the height of the tourist season, you can wait for a long time to get in and it is horrendously expensive.
