| | | | Bankside Power Station: Encyclopedia II - Giles Gilbert Scott - Family Scott was the third son of George Gilbert Scott (junior). When he was three, his father was declared as of unsound mind and consequently Scott saw little of him: he claimed to remember only seeing him twice. A bequest from his uncle in 1889 gave him ownership of Hollis Street Farm, near Ninfield in Sussex, with a life tenancy to his mother; it was to here that his mother took him in order to escape the occasional violence of her husband.
Scott was sent to Beaumont College on the recommendation of his father, not because of any educati ...

As Europe's largest city economy, it generated $365 billion in 2004 (17% of the UK's Gross Domestic Product) although this only refers to the city proper.

If it were it a country, the London metropolitan area would be the 13th largest economy in the world - higher than the GDP of Australia. London is also a large financial exporter making it a lar ...

Greater London covers an area of 609 square miles (1,579 km²). London used to be identified by its port on the Thames, which is a navigable river. The river had a major influence on the development of the city. London was founded on the north bank of the Thames and, for many centuries, there was only a single bridge, London Bridge. As a result, the main focus of the city was on the north side of the Thames. When more ...

| | | | Bankside Power Station: Encyclopedia II - London - History The name London is commonly thought to have come from the Latin name Londinium, as London was founded by the Romans during their reign over the land, around AD 43– although there is some slight evidence of pre-Roman settlement. The BBC History website, however, claims that the name Londinium is actually "Celtic, not Latin, and may originally have referred to a previous farmstead on the site"; the root is 'Lond' meaning 'wild' (i.e. overgrown or forested) place. This fortified Roman settlement was the capital of the province o ...

| | | | Bankside Power Station: Encyclopedia II - London - Media London is a major international communications centre with a virtually unrivaled number of media outlets. The British media is concentrated in London and is sometimes accused of having a "London bias". All the major television networks are headquartered in London including the BBC, which remains one of the world's most influential media organisations. Partly to counter complaints about London bias, the BBC announced in June 2004 that some departments are to be relocated to Manchester. Other networks headquarted in London include ITV, Channel ...
