London Trivia of Increasing Difficulty #pt1

Quiz on historical events that happened in london. This is the first and easier part of the quiz. As always any feedback is always appreciated.
I decided to split quiz in Two as it was getting very large, I am aware that my guage of difficulty is not very good so after a month or so I will probably try and re-order the questions better based on results.
