Marie created her first wax sculpture in 1777. For a long time she worked as a art tutor at the Palace od Versailles where she made models of many prominent victims during the French Revolution. In 1835., she settled down in Baker Street in London and opened a museum. One of the main attractions of her museum was the Chamber of Horrors (and still it is). This part of the exhibition included victims of the French Revolution and figures of murderers and other criminals. The royal figures were added later. Her gallery originally contained of 400 different figures. Some sculptures even still exsist that were made by Marie Tussaud. The museum became one of the major tourist attractions in London and shortly after, more museum locations were opened in Asia, Europe, North America and Australia.

The City (The central busissness district)

London’s role as a world financial centre has long historical roots. At the end of the 19th century more than half the world’s trade was financed in British currency (Sterling pounds). In the early 20th century the City played a more modest role as banker to the British Empire&nbsp;and the Sterling area of trading nations. It regained a global presence thanks to the relaxation of exchange controls in 1958, the development of the Eurocurrency and Eurobond markets in the 1950s, and the deregulation of capital and securities markets in the 1980s. In the 1990s London’s most significant revenue-earning function was to provide a centre for the international banking market. A unique concentration of banks from every corner of the globe allowed an exceptional range of currencies to be traded. In the competitive climate of contemporary global finance, it captured a large share of activity in the newer&nbsp;markets—swaps, cross-exchange&nbsp;equity&nbsp;trading, and currency options—and also maintained its historical position in the conventional fields of international bank lending, underwriting, bond trading, foreign exchange trading, and investment management. London became&nbsp;Europe's main centre for large volume trading in securities. It dominated the world market in marine and aviation reinsurance.

You can find some very original themed pubs like the Sherlock Holmes pub (here on the right) or the Churchill arms (down here).

Fun fact: If you go to London during the end of year celebrations, you can see the Churchill arms pub with some beautiful decorations and little Christmas trees

In Camden Market there are plenty of food stands, but the most appetizing ones are those located in the square, although they’re a little more expensive. You can also find tasty food in the fixed stands found in the arcades, and in the international food stands you can get trays of food for 3 or 4 pounds.

Beef Wellington&nbsp;is a steak dish of English origin, made out of&nbsp;fillet steak&nbsp;coated with&nbsp;pâté&nbsp;and&nbsp;duxelles, wrapped in&nbsp;puff pastry, then baked. Some recipes include wrapping the coated meat in a&nbsp;crêpe&nbsp;or parma ham to retain the moisture and prevent it from making the pastry soggy.

Leah Hyslop, writing in&nbsp;The Daily Telegraph, observed that by the time Wellington became famous, meat baked in pastry was a well-established part of&nbsp;English cuisine, and that the dish's similarity to the French&nbsp;filet de bœuf en croûte&nbsp;(fillet of beef in pastry) might imply that "Beef Wellington" was a "timely patriotic rebranding of a trendy continental dish"

The family carries out over 2000 official engagements through the UK and worldwide. Engagements include state funerals, national festivities, garden parties, receptions, and visits to the Armed Forces and represents the Queen and the nation in Commonwealth or other countries.

The Queen remains the head of British state, the highest representative of the United Kingdom. The head of the British government, however, is the Prime Minister. They have a special relationship, retaining the right to appoint and also meeting with him or her on a regular basis. She regularly gets information on all important national matters, but never publicly participates in political debates and not one final decision is up to her.

So in conclusion: the royal family doesn't have any political role in Great Britain or the Commonwealth, but is some sort of charity

Some weird rules the royal family has to follow:

When the Queen stands, you stand. No one can eat after the Queen has finished her meal. You can't turn your back on the Queen. Prince Phillip is required to walk behind the Queen. Nicknames in the royal family are completely forbidden Monopoly is a forbidden board game among the family. Garlic isn't allowed at Buckingham Palace, Neither are potatoes, rice, and pasta for dinner

The office towers of the financial services sector cluster tightly in the historic central business district of the City. Banking, insurance, maritime services, commodities, and stockbroking are each associated with particular districts within the City. The advantages of proximity and face-to-face dealing are offset by the shortage of space. The Square Mile is not Hong Kong&nbsp;or Manhattan or Chicago's&nbsp;Loop but a medieval&nbsp;city in which building opportunities are limited at every turn by the presence of ancient monuments and by fragmented and complex patterns of land ownership. During the 1980s, financial service activity began to spill into neighbouring areas with better availability of land. Obsolete railway stations provided many opportunities for office redevelopment—notably the renowned Broadgate project at&nbsp;Liverpool Street Station&nbsp;to the north of the Square Mile—as did the great premises&nbsp;in Fleet Street, to the west, that had been vacated by newspaper publishers in their shift from hot-type production to computer typesetting. The most spectacular secondary centre was the business city of&nbsp;Canary Wharf, built by the Canadian Reichmann brothers in the derelict&nbsp;docks 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the Square Mile. The project bankrupted its developers but left London with an enduring memorial of the boom years of the financial services revolution.

Due to its privileged location on the banks of the Thames, the Palace of Westminster was of great strategic importance throughout the Middle Ages. Buildings have occupied this site since at least the Anglo-Saxon period: then known as Thorn Island (Thorn Ey now Thorney Island).

The place may have served for the first time as a royal residence during the time of Danish rule, under Knut the Great (1016-1035). But the penultimate Saxon king of England, Edward the Confessor, built a royal palace on Thorney Island, immediately west of the city of London and around the same time as Westminster Abbey.
