Since you asked me to write to you about everything I learned on this trip，here is what I’ve learned about London.

　　London’s population of eleven million makes it the second largest city in the world.It is bigger than New York but not as big as Tokyo.London is twice the size of New York.It has an area of 620 square miles!

　　The Thames River runs right through the center of the city.Someone once called the Thames“liquid history”．It is a very good name.Dozens of armies have crossed it over the past few thousand years.One of the first was the army of Julius Caesar two thousand years ago.And most recently－Mr.and Mrs.Gill.

　　So far I have only had time to visit one neighborhood.It is called Bloomsbury.In fact there is a group of writers known as the Bloomsbury Group.It got its name because so many of them lived there.Virginia Woolf was one of them.I know how much you like her novels.

　　Baker Street is also part of Bloomsbury.Do you remember who once lived on Baker Street？When I asked Bob this question，he answered，“a man who baked bread，right？”Sherlock Holmes，of course，I won’t have time to find his address.Maybe you will when you come.

　　【解题导语】　本文是作者应朋友的要求，根据自己的所见所闻，描述了伦敦的概况。
