The History of the London Police
In 1700 London had no policemen at all. A few men protected the city streets at night.
Many people were poor and there were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that
people stayed in their homes as much as possible.
In 1750. Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like
policemen and were called 'Bow Street Runners' because they worked near Bow Street,
Fifty years later, there were 120 Bow Street Runners, but London had become very big and
needed more policemen. In 1829, the first London Police Force was started with 3000 officers,
Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses.
Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride
horses, the pay is even better than for the others.

Have you ever thought how strange fashion is? People tell us what clothes to wear. That’s weird. Fashion stores tell us what is “in” this summer or this winter. People then buy the same clothes and look like everyone else because they want to feel trendy. The thing is, fashion is about being an individual, but then we all wear clothes that are the same as everyone else’s! Keeping up with fashion is expensive these days. Everyone is into brand fashion. Have you seen how much the most fashionable sneakers are? How can kids afford those? The craziest fashion is the luxury brands. People spend a month’s salary, or more, on a handbag or watch. That’s crazy. I’m happy with an unknown brand at half the price. I don’t mind being unfashionable.
