Stop being so literal. Rome is still there, and has been for 2000+ years. It just isn't a terribly important city any more, globally; London will be similar.

I'm not being literal. London will continue to be an important global city. There won't be any "fall".

I'm sure the Romans thought that too, and the Athenians before them, and the Babylonians before that.
