The London Eye ferris wheel is the largest in Europe (it took 7 years to build). London has hosted the Olympics three times (a world record). The oldest public zoo in the world opened in London in 1828. Ealing Studios, established in 1902, are the oldest continuously working film studios in the world. There are more languages spoken within London than in any other city in the world (more than 300 languages). The chimes of the Big Ben clock tower's bell can be heard for five miles in every direction. The London Bridge is home to hundreds of bats which nest in the nooks and crannies. 25% of London residents were born in another country. Tea first appeared in London in September 1658 when the beverage was advertised in a pamphlet by a coffeehouse owner. The owner had acquired it from Dutch merchants who transported it to England from China. The Monument commemorating the Great Fire of London is the tallest isolated stone column in the world.
