@kayiqbal: Most people think London was built by kings, palaces, and empires. The truth? London was built by a river. The Thames helped create Londinium, powered the British Empire, and turned London into one of the world’s greatest cities. But in 1858, that same river became so polluted that Parliament could barely function. This is the unbelievable true story of how the River Thames went from a toxic sewer to one of the world’s greatest environmental recovery success stories. Would London even exist without the Thames? 👇 Let me know what surprised you most. #London #ThamesRiver #LondonHistory #Londinium #HistoryFacts
