The worlds first underground railway The Tube was built in London. The first and second world wars destroyed much of London and killed about 30 thousand people. Much of the city was rebuilt after the wars. Britain lost almost all of its colonies after the war, but continues to remain strong. Heathrow airport opened to commercial flights in 1946 and a lot of new office and commercial building were constructed. Massive engineering projects like the Thames Barrier and the Channel Tunnel were undertaken. Londons growing population has cause a shift in building trends. The trend is to build denser, taller and more urban style of building.
